Visual card 1, local participant 2
Hello, I’ve got a setup with a Ryzen 5 5600G and an RX580 with 8GB RAM. I recently received a free graphics card from a colleague, thinking it might fail soon after a previous owner had problems—turns out it’s just a sync issue. I bought the 5600G as a backup. Now I’m planning to send the RX580 to another teammate. For my next project, I want to run two local player stations using Hyper-V or Unraid. My aim is to connect everything—keyboard, mouse, monitor—onto one system. The first VM should just play games if possible, and the second for light gaming or eSports. Video editing is also on the list, so I’m considering an RTX 3050/3060 later, depending on the build. I’ll likely get a second screen in 4K non-gaming mode or 2K otherwise, based on budget. I’ve been looking into Unraid but found out it doesn’t split GPUs as easily as GPU-PV does. Maybe they’re updating soon? If you have any tips, I’d really appreciate them.
I’m curious about using Easy-GPU-PV with Hyper-V—would the second VM need Parsec or Remote Desktop to access the GPU, requiring another device? Also, if I switch to a 12th-gen Intel CPU with integrated GPU, can it share the GPU or just pass through? Would using an Intel APU work for quick sync, or should I skip the CPU and rely on the GPU? Lastly, is it better to stick with Unraid and one GPU, or go with two GPUs in separate VMs? Your advice would mean a lot.
Two RTX 3050 cards would work, but I’m considering getting an RTX 3060 now and adding another later. I plan to sell my 5600G and upgrade to a new CPU, just to check if I can still fit the 5700G into the build. If not, I might have to stick with Intel chips. With Intel, I’d likely be limited to the 3060, but the 5700G could still work with a RTX 3070.
Sure, just let me know. It sounds like you're worried about performance issues with too many threads.
Not feasible with a single 30 series card. With GPU-P you can't send input devices straight to VMs, and 30 series cards aren't compatible with vGPU at the moment. You can check the vGPU unlock script for details. It helps divide high-end Nvidia cards between 900 series and 20 series, but the 30 series changed vGPU behavior, breaking that script. Be cautious—it's a complex approach and not ideal for beginners. This seems like your most viable option if you're serious about trying.
Currently there weren't any new titles available. Upgrading to the RTX 30 series seemed like the only option that could work with splitting the GPU via the Hyper-V script. I was also thinking about getting a new CPU, which is why my budget stayed around the RTX 3050 or 3060 depending on the motherboard.
Thanks for the details. The PC isn’t a priority right now. I found someone else who’s upgrading an RTX 2060 and I could purchase the GPU from them. I’m fine with it taking a week or even months to get everything working.
