Windows in a vm with a passed through GPU is really nice. Although still pretty niche these days it's easier than it used to be. It also works with a single GPU, e.g. on a laptop.

I personally have a desktop PC with an AMD GPU and then another Nvidia GPU that I pass through to windows hosts. I have a hook that changes the display output and switches the inputs using evdev.



It's really nice if you have two seperate GPUs in your computer?


Most computers do. All laptops and most desktops have an integrated GPU on the CPU.


That's the first. Do you have sources most have more?


He’s right. Laptops have integrated graphics, but all mid-tier and higher laptops also have a dedicated GPU. Desktops are similar, though my guess is a lot of business desktops have only the integrated graphics.


As I mentioned, can be done with a single GPU as well, just makes it a bit more complicated to set up.
