Two players on one PC with a 2-GPU setup is doable.
Hi there, I hope you're doing well. You're planning to set up a new PC for some cooperative gaming with your brother instead of AAA titles. You mentioned wanting something around 1080p without needing a high-end GPU like the GTX 1060. Your concern is whether it can sustain 200 FPS and support two players on one tower, which would bring the expected performance down to about 60 FPS. With a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU, you're right to think about potential bottlenecks. I’d say it’s doable if the setup is optimized, but you’ll need to balance the load and possibly upgrade other components slightly. Let me know if you want more details!
Probably is that there is no way to split the gpu up so you can do this. You can make it so that you have multiple users with multipoint, but then you can't play most games. Your best option is just buying a cheap desktop or habving your friend bring their desktop over.
I aim to secure two affordable cards similar to the Dual RX560, while also implementing Unraid techniques as seen in his previous video. However, you'll still require an additional pair of peripherals.
Based on my experience, a VMware player can handle certain less demanding games inside a virtual machine. Just keep in mind it limits VRAM to 2GB per VM, and performance can change a lot depending on the game.
We haven't purchased the actual machine yet, so I'm flexible with suggestions but mindful of costs. I aim for at least 60 fps in high graphics on CS:GO using both monitors. Is there a way to achieve that? We're aiming for a powerful setup like a GTX 1060, but I can go with a GTX 1050 Ti and use a used 750Ti if you prefer. Would that be worth it and feasible?

Consider adding two more affordable systems. Think about using an older Dell OptiPlex around $100 and installing a GPU inside it.
