Linux csgo performs badly on virtual machine

[spiralfuzion]

I have an i7 4770 and rx 480 with 32gb of ram and get around 500fps on windows but running it on a virtual machine seems to drop in performance below 60 fps a lot. I'm assuming it's using the intergrated graphics instead of my graphics card. Is there a way to make it use my graphics card or do i have to dual boot it with windows 10?

you want to look up VGA pass through. this will make it use the GPU. Its performing poorly because a lot is being done in software.

Why are you running CSGO in a VM? it is native on all major platforms

Games aren't supposed to run good in virtual machines, because these use software rendering unless you passthrough the whole graphics device. That means you need one graphics card for the operating system and another one for the VM.

What hypervisor are you using. 

 

Normally vms have very bad graphical performance. If you want good gpu perofrmance you need something like gpu pass through or nvidia grid. Neither of these are suppored on Windows desktop.

May I ask why not run the native Linux version?

apparently theres a lot of cheats on the linux version but that doesnt explain the requirement for a VM

Thanks for the info

Well I figured I'd boot it off a USB but now I have to create a partition and my hard drives are on different disks on disk manager so I'm assuming I have to rearrange my sata cables.

Now I will be. Sorry I'm relatively new and was afraid to dual boot. Now I'll be creating a partition for ubuntu.

Im aware vacs anti cheat detection system isn't in Linux but I'm using it because I don't want to have to switch my os just to play a quick game of csgo. Also over watch is still a thing and pretty much any cheater slips up and gets over watched. I used to play in the semi pro scene and can tell you no matter how hard you hide it you'll still get caught. That or you're actually good at the game and know how to play with cheats. Which is a tiny minority of cheaters let alone the regular cheaters.

Oh I thought you were actually virtualizing Windows inside Linux, not the other way around.
