Need some help

[Jelle Hopman]

Hey everyone,

 

I hope iam putting this in the right topic... iam new on this site and got to learn still.

 

The thing I need kinda help with is this. I want to build like a server or desktop pc just one and share it with my family that live like a couple of streets away from me.

Internet speed here is no problem I can get 1 gb down and up if needed so I hope that isnt a bottleneck. 

At first I was thinking to build a server and put windows server 2019 on it. But I have no idea if you can game on windows server... 

And what kinda hardware would I need to get like 6 people use this server\pc? 

Or can I follow the idea of linus 7 gamers 1 CPU ?but can you share a vm over the internet? 

 

So as I said I hope iam at the right topic and I hope you guys will help me. Sorry if my English is bad iam just a dutch guy looking for help.

Welcome to the LTT forums! Before you even start to consider this does your internet connection have a least 20mbps of upload speed?

Thank you for your quick response. Yes right now I have 500mbps upload and 500mbs download. And if needed I can get 1000mbps upload and 1000mbps download on fiber

I think you might have to look towards remote access network for what you want to achieve. not my expertise so hopefully someone else can help you

Ok for the moment on the hardware side of things, I can help, on the software side I need to do more research, as the most basic of services such as Chrome Remote Desktop are extremely laggy. For hardware you are going to need/want at least 4 relatively fast cores per player, and are going to need a decent GPU for every player. 8 to 16 GB of RAM for every player, and etc.

Thank you for your response. Well that sounds kinda a good idea. I have not a lot experience with that but would love to learn about it haha

Thank you for your response. Okay I will look for a cpu with 24 cores at least or more. or 2 cpu's. What kinda GPU do you prefer?. I have a budget around 6000 to 7000 euro max will that be enough? Btw it will be used by 6 family members

Yes you can, but you could probably get away with Win 10 pro.

I will have to see, as I don't yet know the cost of the necessary software.

Buddy that looks like some cool project you have going on there! What I can tell you is that you should wait for the new Ryzen Threadripper to come out where they have a 24-Core variant that should fit your needs. Like the others said you'll also be needing shared VRAM too so going multi-GPU wouldn't be a bad option. Here's a list with last-gen Threadripper for comparison but with all the new gear added: 

I left some breathing room for the cost of a case, newer CPU and motherboard. And using 2080Ti SLI would have made the end price unnecessarily high. 

Cheers man and good luck!

i mean really, might be best building 2 separate  PC’s and creating a network of them. Costs will be done hugely; you can still use a network based drive for files etc
