Making a virtual gaming pc

[Frog Monster]

Remember when Linus did 7 gamers 1 CPU? Well I'm trying to do something similar, but mine is 2 gamers 1 CPU. I'm trying to set up virtual machines to run 2 instances of GTA V and/or Ark, so me and a friend can play at the same time. The problem is Virtualbox will not allow me to allocate more than 256mb of vram to a machine. So how the hell did Linus do it?

did you actually watch the video? because they explained the software they used... there's also a video with 2 gamers, one cpu. 

 

Anyway, it's not virtualbox (which would be laggy as hell).

Hi and welcome to the forum!

 

VirtualBox only offers a virtual graphics adapter, which means gaming performance will be terrible. The fact that it has some 2D and 3D acceleration features for the guest OS is already pretty surprising and cool. You can, of course, try if anything will run on your virtual system, but I highly doubt it. Furthermore, VBox doesn't allow you to pass physical PCIe devices to the guest OS, so even if you had two physical GPUs in your system, you'd have to use a different virtualisation software. Linus used unRAID, which is geared toward serious datacenter virtualisation, hence it has these features. Sorry, but what you're trying to do will most likely not work.

Well that sucks. No big deal though. It was only to prove a point.

unRaid is the way to go sadly since it costs

 

...or if ur'e able to code your own "thing" that does the same as unraid.
