Does anyone know if the impact is even noticeable? Obviously if guest VMs are running, that is noticeable. But that doesn't mean that the impact is large, MS has tuned this for this use case and the Dom0 retains some very efficient driver access and can talk directly to the GPU. Enabling Hyper-V means that the gaming environment is moved into a VM, however, so there is more overhead since Hyper-V is a type 1 / bare metal hypervisor. But there is a lot of time that it is not used and Hyper-V could run there easily, it has more than enough power and RAM. Said in Windows 10 Hyper-V Impact on Gaming:ĭoes anyone have any information or experience on using Hyper-V on a machine also used for gaming? Obviously this is for home use, not for business use, and it would be handy to have a Hyper-V environment at home and my only accessible Windows box is the kids' gaming system.
