Wow, I feel dumb. Good thing no one actually wasted any time on this. I just had to flip a boolean value in the config.xml file in /etc/fahclient

Hey guys, I'm folding on my main rig (Ubuntu 19.10, R9 3950x + GTX 1080ti + RX550), but for some reason neither of my GPUs seem to be "available". I would only want to fold on the nvidia one, as I prefer using the amd gpu for display out (and it wouldn't contribute that much anyway). I tried a ton of things, including completely taking out the 550, and FAHControl just does not detect anything when trying to add slots. I don't know what to try, and I don't even know what logs/config files to dump. Cheers

Oh right, the host OS is linux. Sorry, forgot to mention ^^

Hey guys, Let me preface this by saying I'm not sure if this post belongs here, but I've seen other virtualisation related posts in here so I figured this was my best bet. I've been trying to set up a virtualised windows environment with my 1080ti passed through. I was able to install windows successfully on my nvme drive. Now my issue is that when I boot up the vm, windows just seems to be completely oblivious to the existence of the graphics card. I've installed the nvidia drivers (by booting to the drive directly, otherwise even the nvidia drivers didn't pick up the card), and still nothing in the virtual environment. I feel like I've tried everything. I've triple checked that the graphics card is in its own IOMMU group (and it is), I've checked that the correct driver is being used (and it is; `lspci -nnv` says it's vfio-pci). What can I possibly be missing? I've looked at at least 4 different guides/tutorials, and none of them have a step that I could have missed. Thanks

Haven't chosen anything yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with qemu or kvm, and iirc those support it. (love your username btw) Nah, I despise VGA, I just couldn't find a better way of wording it. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm planning on grabbing a secondary graphics card for my system, because I plan on fully virtualising my windows install, and letting it have my 1080ti. Which means I'd have to leave a graphics card for my ubuntu system. Since most of my gaming will be done on windows still, I wanna get a low-end card with no additional 6 or 8pin (didn't pick a power supply expecting to ever run dual GPUs). Some of the graphically "demanding" things I might do on Ubuntu would be things like watching youtube videos (potentially 4k), playing some 2D titles (Undermine, Binding of Isaac: AB+, etc), and possibly some very light 3D titles (minecraft, maybe even csgo). Would a 550 or a 560 be enough for those things, considering my primary display is 4k? I could live without the 3D titles or even the 2D games, but I'm worried my system would become a chore to use for the things like internet browsing and video watching ('cause screw booting up a VM to watch a video). Are my worries founded or would the cards perform perfectly in those tasks?

Those are just outside my comfortable price point unfortunately (with the international markup they end up around 400) I'll take a closer look to the rest you mentioned. (The aorus elite was previously on my radar already) I actually heard the opposite, that it's got most of the high end features, but is a lot cheaper I'll look into those as well then, thanks.

That's not an issue, since I have a 1st gen ryzen CPU already. I'll be using 3600MHz memory, so I should be fine on that aspect too. These two motherboards caught my eye because as far as I know, they're the cheapest boards that have an external clear CMOS button as well as a proper VRM (maybe on x470 there are some more, I didn't look too deep into those)

Hey guys, I plan on getting the 3950x when it comes out, and I've been trying to decide on a motherboard for the past 2 or so weeks. The two options I came up with are the x470 Taichi Ultimate, and the x570 Taichi (both from Asrock, duh) On paper, the choice should be obvious. Taichi Ultimate has the following pros over the (x570) Taichi: No pesky Chipset Fan Cheaper (I can get it for 270CHF, and the taichi is 340CHF) (NB: CHF-USD conversion rate is roughly 1:1) It has some other pros (such as the 10 gig lan) and cons (such as the lack of wifi6 and pcie4) that I don't really care about. I mostly care about 2-3 features when it comes to motherboards: good VRM, external Clear CMOS button, and good-enough bios. Is there anything I'm missing about those two boards? Such as a feature I should care about, or a flaw that would make one of them drop out entirely? Also, feel free to recommend another board if you think it would be relevant. Like I said, the decision should be obvious, but I can't help but doubt myself a little. Cheers
