So my friend is coming out to see me from Ireland and he can't bring his rig with him and we still want to play Overwatch together and I want to do a sort of 2 Gamers 1 CPU deal, but I have no clue where to start.

Any suggestions? :D

 

CPU: AMD FX 8120 @ 3.9GHz

GPU: GTX 660 1.5GB
Memory: 14GB DDR3
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 EVO

PSU: Corsair CS650M

I have a lot of experience with tech as I repair PCs all day pretty much, I also want to learn how to do something like this

 

well you have 2 main options are there both gonna be a pain. 1st is multipoint, but your normally limited to no games due to how its setting up the sessions, You also need to install windows server.

 

2nd is vms and thats a pain. Does your board have iommu? you need a second gpu.

 

your best option is to buy a used dell optiplex fora bout 150 bucks and put a used gpu in it.

You will need a second GPu and monitor. One 660 is not enough.

Although not ideal, at least your CPu has 8 (albeit bad) cores, so each gamer can get 4.

I know I'm asking a lot for what I have, but it's really more the idea of knowing how to do it should I 'need' to in the future. I have seen that video and it didn't really help me much in the software side of things. But thanks anyway!
