Hi everyone, inspired by [1] and in need of a new computer, I settled with the idea to get 2x Xeon E5-2670 and an ASRock Rack EP2C602.
Its main purpose is to provide 2-3 (mediocre) gaming VMs with (Nvidia) GPU- passthrough. Before I buy these parts, I have some questions: * Has anyone experience with this hardware configuration? Especially regarding VFIO. * How does missing APIC-V impact the gaming performance? [2] shows little improvements in IO scenarios. * Is there better hardware with the same value? The Mainboard + 2 CPUs will cost me around 500€. For the future, I hope that games can utilize more CPU cores and that Vulkan/ DX12 with less API overhead, makes more space for the actual game.
