So windows is a bunch of faggotry wanting to do dumb shit but adobe and gaems
so what hypervisor would you guys use if you want GPU passthrough?
So far I've looked at esxi and some weird shit called unRAID by limetech.
Also you think AMD gpus will always be easier to pass through? I want the gtx1080 for machine learning shit on linux and ideally it'd be nice if there were a hypervisor that I could have the gpu pass through for both linux and windows and just run one at a time.

good luck with this, you gonna need it. I am not saying it doesn't exists, but in most project it still has the label "experimental", it has poor performance and it works with limited software, sometimes you even need combinations of hardware as well.
Much more reliable way is to dual boot. It is 10 minutes of setup, 100% software compatibility no matter what updates, drivers, kernels will screw up in future and no bottlenecks in your virtual machines.
>think AMD gpus will always be easier
AMD and anything linux related is a bad idea. Not that nvidia is much better, but still they at least bother to release SOMETHING which maintainers pack into packages.

I am not sure which kind of problems you want to solve, but anything basic can be done with normal CPU + a LOT of RAM. But hey, it will play your games fine.
tldr:
GPUs in VMs are EXPERIMENTAL. Atm not worth any effort at all. Save yourself time and do dual boot if you must.

Calm the fuck down

Proxmox is top tier and has easy passthrough.

good point with the dual booting option, that's actually what I'm doing currently but thought this would be a fun project if it really could work, but you're right updates and drivers scare me.

haven't heard of that one before - and it uses kvm, sounds promising thanks!
