I have trouble deciphering what you could mean by that. If you mean "guest passes through to host, host happens to be running software 3D", that would probably be slower than "guest runs software 3D directly". It'd be a tradeoff between which side has a more efficient software implementation, how many CPUs you allocate to the guest, how expensive your hypercalls are, etc. And it's certainly not a scenario I was considering in the scope of "all is right with the world". If you mean "host sets up device passthrough for a guest, but runs software 3D for itself", that's a thing you could do I guess, but it's not clear why you'd want to, or what you'd be comparing against to determine relative speed. - ajax -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
