Sim. Basicamente os CPUs novos novos da intel voltaram a ativar certas extensões de virtualização nas gamas de consumidor.Hmmm, então é possível dar basicamente acesso directo ao GPU para uma máquina virtual windows, e consegues ter o sistema Linux a correr uma máquina virtual windows na performance perfeita a jogar. Percebi bem?
EDIT: dayum, isto já permite umas coisas bem fixes. Começo a achar que pode ser uma boa possibilidade para mim
Sauce? Não ouvi essa parte.Não suporta nVidia
Mas é exactamente do que ando à procura Posso ter a minha maquina a correr Linux e para os jogos que só suportem windows ligo a VM.
Eu esperaria que amadurecesse um pouco. Pelo menos deixar que os patches sejam ativos por default, ou hajam repositórios com tudo compiladinho e pronto a usar. Por fim um toque numa UI como o virt-manager para fazer o processo sem dor de cabeça.Obrigado pela info
Nun futuro próximo vou testar isto para ver como se porta a nível de performance.
Vulkan is a new API from the Khronos Group, the same developers who are also working on OpenGL. Their efforts are now supported by Valve as well, and they are saying that developers won't ever need to make a DirectX 12 game.

Vulkan Linux Drivers
The conformant drivers as of writing this article are: Imagination Technologies on Linux, Intel on Linux, NVIDIA on Android / Linux / Windows, and Qualcomm for Android 6.0. Yep, no mention at all of AMD, which was quite the jaw-dropper when I was sent over this material last week...
(...)
On the NVIDIA side, it's great to see both Android and Linux support at-launch and their Windows support goes from Windows 10 back to Windows 7. NVIDIA is supporting Vulkan on the GeForce 400 "Fermi" graphics processors and newer. The NVIDIA Vulkan driver going out today is considered beta. Pretty much the best Vulkan support going out today is from NVIDIA.
On the AMD side, the Vulkan Linux driver is initially closed-source as expected and likely will not even be released today for penguin gamers. That's because unfortunately the Vulkan Linux driver quality is not up to the same level as AMD's Vulkan Windows driver. The Windows-only driver release is considered "alpha/beta-ish" while the Linux driver is "not quite ready for prime-time." AMD is looking to begin pushing the Linux version when their Windows version comes out of beta in the regular release cycle. In regards to when the AMD Vulkan code might be opened, I heard, "opening the full stack is still a ways off, but it's certainly something we're hoping to do."
With regard to the AMD Vulkan Linux driver, also keep in mind that it's only going to work with the AMDGPU DRM driver. For the hardware supported by default currently with the AMDGPU DRM driver is the Tonga, Fiji, Iceland, Carrizo, and Fury graphics cards along with all future models. Basically, GCN 1.2 and newer. There does remain though the experimental AMDGPU GCN 1.1 support if building your kernel that way, but no support at present in the DRM kernel driver for GCN 1.0 or earlier.
From one of the game developers at a major studio taking an early stake in Vulkan I was forewarned not to expect any performance miracles out of Vulkan titles at this point. The straightforward explanation is that while the Vulkan API offers a lot of performance possibilities and greater optimizations, the current games/engines are still tuned for DirectX 11 / OpenGL with just calling into the Vulkan functions.
Para variar a AMD sempre tarde para a festa nos drivers:
Acho piada ainda ninguém ter comentado a jogada pela calada da nVIDIA não só o suporte DX12 desapareceu misteriosamente para as Fermi como de repente até o o Vulkan também. Porque é que ninguém faz alarido sobre isto?
