How about enabling SR-IOV on consumer GPUs so we can use VirtualBox with that SR-IOV back-end for near native gaming performance?

GPU Passthrough is cumbersome for gaming if you want to quickly switch between Linux Desktop & Windows VM.. SR-IOV would make it seamless.

Whoever brings this technology first to modern gaming GPUs can have my wallet.

Intel Arc already has it?
It works on my A380 which i use in my nas.

i wait for battlemage to evaluate it for my gaming desktop though

What's the point? Proton works very well for linux gaming and if you want to play some competitive games with analprobe type anticheat then I've got bad news, this is not allowed by game developers.

None of Intel's dGPUs can match the performance of my current setup

Intel still has some work left but I'm glad they're making progress

Sure but to be realistic, would it even work with QEMU+KVM? Seems like Xen is preferred in DCs where professional GPUs are used. Also, is there even one which can compete with latest gaming GPUs in terms of FPS in games?

Aah, gaming gpu, which none do for obvious reasons.
