Gaming on Server (LAN)

[HeartOfGermany]

Hello folks. I have a pretty complicated question. And yes, I need it because of banana.

 

I try to keep my question and explenation short:

 

I have:

- 1 Server

- PC1 and PC2

- 1 Gigabit Ethernet

 

I want:

- Fileserver/Storinator (Ok, no help required here) with RAID 5 at 2tb/HDD

- Run any Game or App on the much faster server

- Sequentially use PC1 and PC2 to game with the Graphics card sticking inside the Server! (over LAN holy sh$t)

- And it should be possible to watch Video an PC1 and game on PC2 and vice versa (or how to spell it and not get eye-cancer)

- While PC1 and PC2 are used sequentially with EACH 1 Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, Soundcard and USB also be able to use the Server as PC. -> That means, if I have a game, that does not require overkill hardware, play like 3 Gamers, 3 Cpus and only 1 GPU (Well, still 3, but the 2 on PC1 and PC2 only feeding the Video material that got rendered on the server) Even possible, to virtually render 3 Display outputs, if only 2 mechanical outputs exist?

 

How to do this? It must be possible. It has to be!

 

 

Thanks for help.

You need 1 GPU for each client and one VM for each client running Unraid to do the whole show

Are you absolutely sure? There is Software, to use 2 Keyboards and 2 Monitors with one windows machine and this uses 1 GPU only. (Of course you need a GPU with at least 2 Outputs)

 

Also there is a way to get Splitscreen with indivitual mouse and keyboard control. Looks, like it theoretically should be possible. Also about bandwith: 720p 30FPS Fraps codec is about 10mb per sec. Full HD should be possible at least 2 times over gigabit lan. Theoretically, if such software solution can even be made.
