I am not speaking about native linux gaming. Mesa is NOT enough at all. propriety is needed. But that's not the subject. I am speaking about GPU passthrough. Is ATi better supported by Xen or KVM passthrough than nvidia.

(Mesa is NOT enough at all. propriety is needed, unless you play cs 1.6. But that's not the subject.) I am speaking about GPU passthrough. Is ATi better supported by Xen or KVM *GPU passthrough* than nvidia. Linux is not involved at all. The "good" card will be passed to windows through one of the two virtualization solutions.
