2 gamers 1 cpu

[Stormyskyes]

In the video 2 gamers 1 CPU they required 3 graphics cards for 2 separate machines. But in the 7 gamers 1 CPU they did not need an extra graphics card in addition to the 7 they already had.

Any one have any clue how they managed that? Because Im replicating the 2 gamers 1 CPU but I have no available slots for a third graphics card. 

In the video they didn't mention how they got around that.

 

Build. 

i7 7700k 4.2 ghz

Ah. Didn't know you could use the integrated GPU to do it.

And they didn't use any version of linux. Just unraid.

unraid is linux... 

 

id normally suggest fedora here.

oh xD. Just kinda odd because when they demonstrated it, they still had it on windows.

Is it easier to set up on fedora?

you know about vms then?

 

id just install fedora, enable vt-d and setup some vms.

[Stormyskyes]

Yea. The machine I run Kali on is a vm on this one.

Got it. Ill look into fedora then.

also in the latest 3 VR machine they just fed the main system just the driver to make it think it had a card even though it doesn't. because technically you don't use that output anyway.
