Sooo I guess this is something a little different. Except from cpuboss and alike I haven't really found information about the graphics performance from an igpu of a i7-5820k. So I'm asking here: Does anybody have info on that? No benchmarks using i7-5820k + dedicated graphics card xy, only the i7-5820k.
Here's some background
I'm an active developer (Java, NodeJS and stuff) and currently using a w10pro machine with a i7-5820k and a gtx770 but windows being windows and my gaming times ever decreasing I'm playing with the thought of switching to linux (centos probably). But I am not ready to completely give up gaming and imho gaming on linux via wine is just as bad as restricting myself to the few titles available natively on linux.
Leaves only one option, namely dual-booting, right? Wrong.
As it seems you can use a windows vm on a kvm host with IOMMU/vga passthrough, giving your guest full access to your physical graphics card with excellent performance. But there's a price to be paid: the card given to the guest won't be available on the host.
This leads to the following setup: one monitor with two inputs, one per graphics processor.
In my case this means that the igpu of my cpu will have to handle everything not gaming related and the gtx770 will be used solely for gaming (and maybe light video editing)
What is "everything not gaming related"?
Rendering of huge pdfs, handling about 50-100 browser tabs including youtube and alike, displaying IDEs (IntelliJ platform, vscode) all across multiple virtual desktops, either in 3x1080p or 1xUWQHD. Some image viewing and light editing. Nothing too fancy, but loads of it.
Admittedly I have no experience with vga passthroughs, so this might be not working after all, but I think I'll give it a shot. If one of you has other ideas or viable info on this topic I'd be grateful.
