this all sounds like a no then, especially if the CPU is under spec... i hadn't realised that, Oh well, thanks for the replies! I guess you could get around the VM part by instead having a second drive you swap in for the purpose of running VIVE only,even that the CPU's are slow aren't they, but with a fast cpu Maybe? I just don't need a full Gaming tower, but I do use the server, so could upgrade it...

Just looking for some idiot checking before embarking on the idea as it aint cheap I have a Dell server with x58 chipset (16xpcie 2) dual 3Ghz 550 Xennons, 24Gb of ram on SSD cache running unraid looking to VM a mchine for HTC VIVE so would need to passthrough a 1070 ? also need to power the 1070 so sepparate 500W PSU should do it? windows os ? could i use steam os? Do you think this would work before i drop £1250 k on it??!?
