You're considering a setup with two gamers sharing one CPU. Your current specs are an i3-7100, aiming to upgrade to an i5-6400, adding 8GB RAM, a 16GB RAM module, a GTX 960 (2GB), a 500W power supply, two SSDs (2x120GB) and two HDDs (2x500GB). You plan to use the built-in GPU for Unreal and run two VM instances on the GTX 960s. You're wondering about enabling IOMMU and HVM, as well as whether the display output should go through the GPU instead of the GPUs themselves. Your question is whether your current hardware will suffice or if you need to upgrade to the suggested components.

Check the relevant section in your system settings for custom configurations. This guide explains how to adjust the PCIe ACS override option and highlights that the listed devices won't be grouped naturally by IOMMU. For device grouping details, visit the VM Manager page and disable the setting. More information can be found at the provided link.
