jang430 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi. I recently upgraded to Xeon E3-1240v2, with 8 GB of RAM, with Supermicro X9scm-Fmotherboard. I have docker enabled, and a few docker apps. I was wondering if my machine is capable to have 2 Windows 10 VMs, with 2 GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU Passthrough, and play 2 E-Games (same title) one against the other. What Do I need to increase? I assume 8 GB of RAM? Is my processor powerful enough? BTW, my motherboard has pcie x8 only, so I will be using riser cables to connect graphics card. Thanks Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The first concern is whether or not your motherboard will separate your resources into groups that will allow 2 simultaneous video and USB passthroughs. I'm not familiar with that specific board, so you probably need to find someone with the same board that has tried it. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi. I always thought that if VT-X and VT-D are both supported, I'm cleared. Is this wrong? The board has 2 pcie x8 and 2 pcie x4. I actually intend to use moonlight streaming on this machine. Quote Link to comment
tr0910 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) You're cleared, but it takes some work getting the resources allocated properly. If you find someone who has already documented your config, it helps Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk (this sneaky spammy Tapatalk has got to go) Edited April 1, 2017 by tr0910 Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Woo-hoo, when I bought this processor, wasn't sure what it can do. The only thing to do now is to prove it works :-) Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
tr0910 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 You should find others who have documented that mb. It was a common one. But 8gb RAM is likely to be slow for multiple VM. But for testing it is fine Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yup, it's what I thought. Thanks tr0910. Thanks Jonathanm Quote Link to comment
