C_Bouchard Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, I am currently planning a build similar to Linus' one but on a tighter budget. I was originally going with an AMD Ryzen 1800X, but the current issues with ndt and avic brought me to the Intel 7820x (8c/16t) and 7800x(6c/12t). I plan to create two Windows 10 VMs and pass a GTX 1050 ti to each of them. My question is : Will 3 cores and 6 thread (with the 7800x) to each vm be enough for 1080p 60-fps-ish on medium settings or should I get the 7820x ? Thank you and please take note that this is my first build and my first post to this forum. Edited August 29, 2017 by C_Bouchard Corection Quote Link to comment
Tyranian Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi, I would say honestly the 1050ti will be the issue in getting 1080p 60fps on a lot of games looking at benchmarks for the 1050ti tomb raider etc hits around 40 fps on bare metal yes some games will run 60 fps but I would suggest 1060's if you can stretch to them instead. This review has both 1060 and a 1050ti gaming model in the benchmarks http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_1050_ti_g1_gaming_oc_review,12.html Cpu wise I don't think you would have a problem with that, but others with similar CPU's will be better able to comment as I have not tested one.

C_Bouchard Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Thank you for your quick answer. You are right in saying that a 1060 would be far better, but the 1050Ti is already an upgrade from my current iGPU by a 75% margin. I also planned to game at medium settings, and with that in mind, I believe 60 fps is approachable. Here is the link for 1050 ti at medium settings. http://www.pcgamer.com/gtx-1050-ti-review/ Quote Link to comment
BillClinton Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You'll need at least one core and hyperthreaded partner for the unraid host OS. So that brings down your VM core count for at least one of your VMs. If you can live with 2 cores 4 threads, it will be fine.I highly suggest you check out gridrunners channel on YouTube. He has some great guides on this sort of thing. Here is a link to his channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZDfnUn74N0WeAPvMqTOrtA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Pay special attention to your motherboard selection, not all boards that support dual video cards will properly separate them for use with simultaneous VM's. I'd recommend finding a known working build and copy it. Quote Link to comment
