However, nvgpu is meant to be used in PCI passthrough in scenarios where you would want to run and share your GPU across multiple KVM guests, or you don't want to detach the GPU from the host, and plug it into the VM you are running... you know, that little dance you do everytime you want to game inside a VM.

It works really well with a ~2% performance penalty. Nvproxy by google/gvisor has been doing this for years.

You should try running it yourself and see how it goes :D

Nesbox is just a VMM, a component of the whole stack.

Venus is the only one we could directly compare to, as it is the only one that supports Nvidia GPUs. vDRM works only on AMD/Intel GPUs and has a similar performance (~98% baremetal performance) to virtio-nvgpu.

You should check out Nestri [1], another project we are working on, that helps you do exactly that. It helps run multiple gaming sessions for you and your friends on the same GPU, without anyone meddling in the other person's session. Everyone gets to stream their game to whatever desktop or device they want. It is still a work-in-progress though.

Stadia's shutdown was a great loss in the gaming world.

Its social elements were ahead of their time, allowing for unprecedented levels of interaction and connectivity.

Other platforms are still catching up to how easy it was to jump into a game with friends, share game states, or even stream your gameplay with the press of a button; no queuing.

Unfortunately, much of Stadia's potential was undercut by Google's marketing strategy :(

Hi, thank you for taking an interest.

It is 'cross-platform' as long as you have docker installed and configured to use your gpus. You are good to go.

qwantify is still young and unstable to promise you, you will get a first good experience. But do tell how it goes :)

First of all, thanks rolph ;)

qwantify is a work in progress. As many have pointed out, it is not that different from it's parent repo Neko because this was essentially an MVP. I am working on a set of features including gamepad support and livestream-on-QUIC.

What people might be getting wrong is that qwantify meant to compete with Parsec or Sunshine.

qwantify is a docker image for running and streaming multiple apps or games together from a single machine with at least one gpu. All this can be accessed through the browser.

What (i think) cloud gaming companies like Nvidia or xCloud do.

Be sure to keep an eye out for v1.

This will be implemented soon after we migrate the client from nodejs v14 to nodejs v18. [1]
