I’m considering to switch to Proxmox for my main PC, run a Windows VM on top and passthrough the GPU to play games. However, I heard anti-cheates aren’t that friendly to VMs. Had anyone tried this? Thanks.

    It’s feasible. I ran that so setup for a couple of years. Not with Proxmox as desktop system, but Windows VM with VGA passthrough for gaming, relying on Steam in-home streaming.
    Wouldn’t recommend. I didn’t find a ton of games that wouldn’t work, but the performance hit was quite noticeable in hindsight.
    I never sorted out core-pinning, though.
    But overall the setup was very fragile and prone to breaking after random updates just as much as randomly fixing itself with the next update.
    Streaming was probably the biggest pain point, though.
