Does anyone know if PCI passthrough works so we can play games inside a windows vm? Some user already asked this on the mailing list but got no answer. [1]

Qubes uses Xen and thus PCI passthrough for gaming can be made to work through the same procedures necessary for any other Xen+Linux OS.

But PCI passthrough for gaming isn't a great fit for the Qubes security model: it requires trusting that the Windows guest cannot compromise the GPU you loan it, which makes it a much bigger risk than an ordinary AppVM.
