Virtual box+ ubuntu in windows 7, possible to mine ?

[malekbaba]

I am not a Linux user, I prefer Windows. But it seems to me that Linux is more mining friendly. Is it possible to mine with gpus in linux, If I manage to build linux OS within my windows 7 by virtualbox ? Will I get same performance ?

Just use Genoils miner

You can't GPU mine from a VM. But you can CPU mine and run a walllet.

Using PCI passthrough the VM can have access to the GPU for gaming or mining.
