I noticed the latest video from Linus, so I considered setting up Linux on my PC to run games via a virtual machine because I’m planning to purchase a GTX 1060 FE soon. I’m unsure if an AMD GPU is necessary for virtualization—Wendell mentioned it uses the Vulkan API, which is from AMD. Should I upgrade my CPU from the CEX model to an i7-4790K for around 200 euros? My current specs are: Asus GTX 750 Ti, Gigabyte Z97 HD3 Rev2.1 i5-5670K, 8 GB RAM at 1333 MHz, 16 GB SSD (internal Seagate, external Toshiba), plus one expansion card with four USB 3.0 ports.

Vulkan works with all GPU manufacturers. It was developed and later transferred by AMD, though it isn't limited to any one brand. If Nvidia had handled it, they'd likely have kept it exclusive.

What processor are you using? Make sure your vt-d is functioning properly.

I5-4670K is supported in BIOS, confirmed.

Sure, it looks like you're excited about using Vulkan with your GTX 750. That should work perfectly!

In fact, I believe I'll need a different PSU since the one I currently have is only 500W and can't support 80+ power draw, especially for two GPUs running at full capacity.

The voltage works, but the product's condition is probably poor.

Ensure your CPU is capable of handling the tasks you need. Refer to the Intel specs: https://ark.intel.com/products/75048/Int...o-3_80-GHz, which notes the i5 4670k doesn't support vt-d.

Did you verify the CPU's compatibility with VT-D before turning it on, or did you simply enable it in the BIOS?
