GPU Passthru for gaming

[gray bridge]

i would like to do a windows vm with gpu passthru for playing games i cant natively play on arch like valorant, or use programs i cant use, or any game that might have a issue on arch, also for learning too, but i wanted to do a passthru but im not sure what gpu to buy as a second, i currently have a 4080 super (ik arch on nvidia sucks...) but looking where someone can help me

Never had issues with Nvidia on arch and I game a lot. a 4080 sounds like a really good card too. Nothing wrong with playing games through a VM, but maybe at this point I would consider dual booting instead. Im assuming Valorant has an anti-cheat and cannot run through wine?

If something arch and nvidia are better than Ubuntu or other Ubuntu based distros where drivers break every 6 to 9 months.

I mean some anti cheats are fine like easy anti cheat, but valorants is kernel based and doesn’t like Linux

And yes the 4080 super is amazing, better than the 3070ti I had lol

But some games are weird and do not like Linux such as like valorant and there’s a few things I think that are windows based, just don’t entirely feel like dual booting all the time to play a game when I could possibly just open a vm and somehow pass thru a gpu

Also don’t know if Wayland doesn’t support flameshot but having issues with it going to my second monitor when screenshotting or not letting me screenshot my second monitor (hdmi-1)
