Cluster gaming rig or the best ultimate international rig

[luckydu43]

Hi gays

 

An asker at commentcamarche.net ask me about link 7 high-end gaming rigs together to obtain a monstruous rig. To share the power between 32 users (10 gamers and 22 office users).

His has got 7 "I7-7700k @ 5GHz  under personalize watercool (1 extern pump + a 3*120 radiator), GTX 1080Ti with +20% overclock under the same watercool as the CPU, 64Go of DDR4 2400, Air Cooling  (4*120+2*140+1*360+1*60), powered by 1000W platinium"

 

Woaoh. What an ask.

 

I tell him to sell all his stuff and get an EPYC server rig to get the 102 pcie lines required.

 

What will be your ask ? Is it possible to combined 7 pcs on gaming usage ? It is not limited to transactional tasks by building a cluster server ?

i Imagine 2 of those would be cheaper and better

Thanks for reply ^^

The problem is not about the rig itself.

It's about to link some rigs together (the choice of i7-7700k instead of ThreadRipper is not mine --') or to virtualize 32 pc (for 32 users) like Linus make here... but a way more bigger :-D

 

One of these proposals is just possible ? Must I have to say that gay that his project is unrealizable ?!

why dont you just virtualize the gamers PCs and use thin clients for the office workers

Why not just get 7 1k gaming Pc's and 22 chromebooks

@ITheSpazI @Himommies : Is it the best option.

It is not the option that he will, there is the whole problem.

It's because " For my current config, I have 6 boxes that even in play and thoroughly exploit only 50% max of the CG and 20% max of CM, so I would like to make it a super machine in order to own 10 sessions intended for Gaming as well as 22 intended for office automation"

 

So I tried to find a solution that fits in his demands

I can't understand your english very well, but using one computer to run multiple gaming vm's is never practical or cost effective.

Sorry ;-) I think you guessed I'm French.

Ok, it's all I wanted to know.

I will give him the link of this topic so he may have a different opinion of mine.

If he try to build the rig... the cost... I can't imagine :-D

Update !

 

The asker talk to me about AsterV7. It's the best solution for him.

In fact, it can allocate one screen, one mouse, one keyboard to 2, 3 or even more users under the same machine. Which can have only one graphics card o___O

The limitations came from CPU raw power and GPU raw power. Perhaps VRAM size.

 

Thanks for your answers anyway :-D
