Playing games through VMware

[MrVahn]

Is it possible? I'm thinking of using wine/cedega, but is it also possible to run games on linux via VMware?

only if they are opengl

Nice. I never heard of that before.

VMWare can also accelerate D3D8, but I'm not sure how limiited this is.

I've seen it working though, it defiantely accelerates it.

[MrVahn]

Compared with wine, which of the two has a better performance when running games?

[GNUtoo]

you could test it with tests such as 3D marks

Thanks. I guess I'll have to "feel" it first.
