[Xen-users] Not good performance on Xen



Hi,

I create a Windows 10 VM (HVM) with Xen. I passed on my VM this device :
- AMD Rx480 - 8 Go

About CPU and Memory, i passed all my cores (16 cores) from my Ryzen (1700X). My system has 16Gb of Memory RAM and i passed 10Gb for the Guest, the host have 4Gb only (dom0_mem=4000M,max:4000M).

I installed "Rise of Tomb Raider" and i launch a benchmark on Win10 on Xen and Win10 BareMetal (installed really on my Desktop). With the same graphic options, the performance decrease on Xen compared to BareMetal.

Bare Metal Benchmark :

Xen Benchmark :

The average FPS is not bad on Xen, i lost only 4FPS. But if you see the "minimal FPS", there are a big differences :
31FPS for Xen, 51 for BareMetal for the 1st test
7FPS for Xen, 21FPS pour BareMetal for the 2nd and 3rd test)

I remarked something between Xen and Bare Metal.
- During the test #2 (Syria) i have slowdown on Xen. But not on BM.
- During the test #3 (Geothermal Valley), there are missing texture on Xen and not on BM

To have early the same perf, no slowdown and missing texture, i must to set 8 vcpus to the Guest

What can be the causes of these performance losses?

Thanks,
Maxime
