  • why always only DX11, why not DX12? Parallels and VMWARE can also do only DX11??

  • Does this mean DX1-10 are also supported? I've been struggling to play some DX3-7 games because of VirtualBox and VMware limitations and Win10+ backward compatibility gaps.

    Article is quite long and technical, so it wasn't clear to me. That said, still great to hear Windows guests are getting some attention, especially from a long lived project that's proven it's not going anywhere.

  • Pretty cool to finally have a decent open 3d solution for windows vms. Now if only someone made an opengl driver for older intel macosx vms...

  • Nice, I've been waiting for something like this for years. Meanwhile the gaming scene on linux has been getting better slowly thanks to Valve and friends... but being able to boot into a Windows VM with graphics acceleration was previously a pain on Linux machines that only have a single discrete GPU - I'd wonder whether a solution like this would work with VirtualBox, or only on QEMU.

  • That’s like (at least) third GPU-related project named Triton

  • Reminds me of VirGL [1] and Venus [2], which I think do something similar for OpenGL and Vulkan.

    I use this with Baguette/Crostini on ChromeOS to get some light gaming done. Works very well [3].

    [3]: For Baguette, the Crostini-replacement, one needs to do a minor amount of tweaking to get 3D acceleration to work well (https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/comments/1sftdu1/comment/o...).
