timmy Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Host operating system is Ubunto and guest is windows 7 i know that my box can run call of duty on maxim settings just on windows 7. Would i be able to do the same on a linux box? If not i might as well duelboot with ubunton and windows 7 sidey by side anythoughts or opinions ?

Use Wine to emulate EXE to run CODmw2, or use a Virtual Machine program called Virtual Box. Virtual box is free, and has support for Direct3D emulation/sharing. It works well, but might not be good enough for COD. Using the visualization on your CPU, Virtual Box is really quick, and using windows 98 and D3D is good for old games. No it won't, the VM doesn't have access to the graphics card. Virtual box does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The latest generation of VMware products support DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 3. However, chances are it will operate and not run, as run implies a sense of speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Chances are that it might start and perhaps, walk. Of all the games I've try running in VBox, not even D2 was able to run at anything higher then 5-10 fps (and I've got a GTX260.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Forrest Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm not sure it would run, and even if it did it would be entirely unplayable as to render the whole exercise useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
