re: FFXIV, a How To Get Started Guide for those interested
@monsterblue @Agris I use a Windows virtual machine for FFXIV so I can't say as such, but I could possibly look into it

@Agris @monsterblue I use PCI passthrough to dedicate a video card to the virtual machine
It can be a pretty big hassle since there are numerous hardware requirements and hoops to jump through, and my setup is a bit fragile -- kernel updates can knock out my VM for a bit, and my host uses the IGP because of an access control problem and has some issues of its own
If you want to look into PCI passthrough with virtualization, I can make some recommendations, but I cannot guarantee it working on an existing setup. I'm lucky I could do it on mine since it was already secondhand but from someone who seriously overbuilds their computers

re: FFXIV, and now for something completely different
@Agris @monsterblue well, best idea I have there is try forcing it to initialize with the IGP in the firmware menu, then see if both devices will show up in lspci
Also note with PCI passthrough, you won't be able to use your GPU on your host OS
re: FFXIV, and now for something completely different
@Agris @monsterblue yeah. Frankly I'd suggest either looking up what wine tricks may be needed for FFXIV (fortunately probably few since it needs no kernel anticheat) or to dual boot. I went with PCI passthrough because I've had bad luck with wine and also muh workflow
