So I have been having very sluggish performance with my VM as of late. Basically, my windows vm feels very sluggish whenever I move around window when I run a latency monitor application I get spikes of latency (some as high as 1 second). Not sure what the problem is as I believe I have optimized everything.
Steps I have taken to fix the stutters (none of them removed the stutters):
Removed Pulseaudio and using a sound card that is passed through to the VM directly.
Enabled MSI mode for all devices that support it.
Pinned CPUs threads.
Statically allocate Huge Pages.
Ensured cpupower is setting the CPU to Performance
Computer Specs:
Ryzen 3900X
32GB DDR4 RAM
Asrock 570m Pro4
GTX 1080 (passed through)
GTX 750ti (reserved for linux)
VM Specs:
6 Cores 12 Threads from 3900x (dynamically pinned).
12GB with hugepages statically allocated (6144 pages with 2MB page files)
GTX 1080
directly passed through 250gb SSD
2TB VM images for Games
VM XML File:
I would appreciate any assistance.
