So I built a new gaming/workstation PC the specs are 

 

xeon e5 1650 3.2 GHz 12 MB cache 6 cores 12 threads

 

16 GB Ram

 

a single Sapphire nitro RX 480 

 

so i wanted to invite my cousin over now i sold him my old laptop that had an Intel core i3 350m 2GB ram Intel hd graphics 1366*786 60 Hz display of course this isn't a gaming laptop by any means 

 

so i wanted him to bring it over to my house and then i would make a virtual machine using virtualbox with windows 10 8GB ram 6 threads and then make him remotely control this machine from The Laptop so we can play minecraft together using LAN multiplayer and overwatch 

however there are some problems with this :

 

 

first of all i want the virtual machine to use exactly half of the resources of the host i did this with the ram and CPU but i don't know how to do it on the GPU since in virtualbox you can only select the amount of vram so i don't know if this is going to make it like i have two 4gb RX480s or not then i want to know do i just install AMD Drivers or guest addition drivers note that i want both host and machine to give roughly the same gaming performance and if there are any other virtual machine creator that supports what i want better then please tell me 

 

then i want to know the best free remote server to install on virtual machine for minimum latency on the same network and i want it to support all versions of DirectX and vulkan and opengl or most of them at least

 

thank you

You best way to do this is using hyper v and remote FX. Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor and better than virtual box. You will probably be limited to dx9 and opengl 2.1 and 1gb of vram. THen use steam in home streaming.

 

Unless you buy a grid gpu and run xen/esxi there is no way to do this well.

I was under the impression you couldn't share the gpu and needed 2.

 

  1.

  2. Lenovo Z40 i5-4200U GT 820M 6 GB RAM 840 EVO 120 GB

with the xeon i bought there was an nvidia Graphics card however its a workstation one i am not sure about the exact model but since its a workstation it won't be a good gaming so can i use this and by any magical way be able to share the other GPU ?
