Windows Guest DirectX

[Henry]

Because my Linux desktop will not work with Splashtop for remote control I have spun up a Windows 7 Pro guest however this does not work either.

Splashtop displays an error and their kb indicates it is due to DirectX missing:

Is it possible to make a Windows VM compatible with DirectX requirements?

Rdp with port forwarding through ssh tunnel. Don't need directx.

Is it possible to make a Windows VM compatible with DirectX requirements?

Only if the VM has a passthrough GPU.

Hello,

I know that this is an older thread, but I just had an older machine crash, so I thought it might be about time that I built a machine with an RTX GPU.

I have a question about Proxmox and GPUs: Can I make a Windows gaming VM that can have control of the RTX GPU (to allow for Direct3D 12/Vulkan, etc), but also use another GPU (maybe AMD or another RTX) as the one used by my Linux VMs/Docker containers? If so, is there a wiki or documentation to help me set that up?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Type1J,

you can use as may GPU you like, but you can only use the GPU in one VM(expected Enterprise GPU with GPU virtualization).
