Posted March 15, 2017 Hey guys, Every day it seems something new comes out about the Ryzen and people freaking out. So my question is for the guys who already got one and have hopefully done some of this work on it. I'm looking at going to the 1700 and doing a 2 gamers 1 CPU setup, each getting 8 Threads, dedicated GPU and 8GB each would be enough for me for now. My Question is has anyone tested the Ryzen virtual PC capabilities yet ? its between this or a second hand X99 setup with a i7-5xxx 6core Personally I'd rather have the brand new Ryzen but just wanted to find out what the latest word was Redstone:i7-4770 / Z97 / GTX 980 / Corsair 16GB / H90 / 400C / Antec EDGE / Neutron GTX240 / Intel 240Gb / WD 2TB / BenQ XL24 Obsidian: MSI GE60 2PE i7-4700HQ / 860M / 12GB / WE 1TB / m.Sata 256gb/Elagto USB HD Capture CardRazer Deathadder Chroma / Razer Blackwidow TE Chroma / Kingston Cloud2's / Sennheiser 429 / Logitech Z333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 15, 2017 You should find Wendell's test interesting then: Bottom line: it may be too early to trust Ryzen with a 2 gamers, 1 PC setup, as passing through the GPUs can be tricky.

Posted March 15, 2017 I have KVM with GPU passthrough working here... but it does take a little work in the current state.... Might want to wait a little bit for IOMMU to get more mature.
