  1. Did you have any further luck with the micro-stuttering? I'm on a Threadripper machine, so the progress in this department definitely interests me.T
  2. New user, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'll start here. I've been eyeing unRAID for a while after having discovered it on LinusTechTips. It looks like it would potentially be a good solution for my use case, but I had a few questions. I am a developer full time, and I do both graphics and video content creation part time. I also game on my PC in my free time (despite having 3 kids!). Right now I use Windows predominantly, since I game quite a bit. I keep a Linux VM for development (WSL is still too buggy and slow) and I use Windows for everything else, including the editor where I write my code. Ideally I'd like to be able to use a Linux distro in a nice dedicated full screen environment with out having the overhead of Windows underneath. When it's time to play games or work on video/graphics content, I would like to be able to quickly switch to Windows, forget about work, and game. My system specs are a Threadripper 1950X, MSI X399 Gaming Carbon motherboard, 32 GB of RAM, 1TB Samsung 960 EVO, and a GTX 1080ti. My questions are: Do I need a second graphics card to make this work? I would need to do PCI passthrough for gaming obviously. Is it possible to suspend a VM and switch to another on the fly without needing a second graphics card? How is Threadripper support? What is the overhead like? Can I expect a framerate drop in games over running Windows natively? What about the CPU intensive stuff? What kind of drops should I expect? Ryzen Master in Windows allows me to tailor NUMA specific settings to games, as well as overclock. I assume this would no longer work, correct? How easy is it to set things up? Will I be able to use a simple GUI or will I have to edit a bunch of configs? Thanks!
