Hi Thanks for your mail. It is a real pleasure - to see that it works for you - to see that you can play your favorite game with such settings :). I played Crysis 2 using 1920x1080 resolution, DirectX 9  but this is the only game that I tested - single player -. I have to test as you did :) for the others games. I' ve got the same CPU as you. Intel i5 2500 :) and a GTX 460 SE EVGA  1024. Xen should work with a Linux domU too. I've did a few test on Ubuntu Lucid 64 bits. You have to take care of the good version of Nvidia drivers for GTX 460to work. I do not remember  the real version but it is for driver 270.?? My last patches for Xen Staging (http://xenbits.xensource.com/staging/xen-unstable.hg) for revision >= 24332 are available at http://www.davidgis.fr/download/xen-4.2_rev24232_gfx-passthrough-patchs.tar.bz2 Thanks for the tip about audio. Thanks for all. Kind regards.

Performances are AMAZING! I've played entire single player campaing of Battlefield 3 at 1680x1050@ULTRA settings in domU, with NO visible lags or artifacts. DomU is really rock solid, not a single crash. Crysis2, Fifa12, NBA2K12 also played really well at maximum quality settings and resolutions. Adobe Suite, Flash 11 and CUDA also works as on bare metal systems (eg using gpu to accelerate). I've been able to passthrough an usb controller and the integreted audio card too. I can swich between dom0 e domU by changing the input source of the monitor, and using synergy to share keyboard and mouse over ssh. At boot i bind the nvidia card to pciback in grub conf file. Later I use pci-stub to passthrough audio and usb. When I shutdown the domU, i can bind the audio card back to the dom0 in this way: echo "8086 1c20" > remove_id echo "0000:00:1b.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/unbind alsa force-reload Follows a bit of infos about my system config and hardware: CPU: Intel i5-2500 MB: Asrock z68 EXTREME4 GEN3 (bios 1.10) PRIMARY VGA: GIGABYTE GTX460 (GV-N460OC-1GI, rev. 1.0).
