It's not as hard as it looks, this tech has been made easier and easier...
If your intrested in VM's and how this works google "VFIO", it's mainly used by Linux users that want to run windows games in a virtual machine.
This kind of tech I suspect is also being used by the services that want to make 'game streaming' a thing, the games are run in VM's and the output is pumped netflix style back to the user.
This is easier than microwaves though. Fuck overcomplicated microwaves.
Man I linked here from the 5 PC setup from a few months ago, and it's crazy to see how much the videos and Linus' hosting has improved over 7 years
"We've got enough USB ports to choke a stallion" xD
USB 2.0 ports are so much better for the job. That's why the X99 Deluxe is the right MB for the job. Oh I guess there are the Asmedia USB 3.0 ports, but whatever, no one cares about them.

with a 3900x!!!
Does 3900x support virtualization?
@@endsemiscoming7204 Yes, alltough AMD doesn't call it VT-d and VT-x. They call it AMD-Vi and AMD-V. I think all Ryzen CPU's support it, even the lower end ones, and Threadripper and EPYC definitely supports it. Just make sure your motherboard chipset supports it also. With AMD it's not really a question if your CPU can virtualize, but if your motherboard can. Some motherboards support only AMD-V and not AMD-Vi, meaning that you can run virtual machines, but you cannot pass through PCIe devices like a GPU to your VM, so if you're doing this for gaming, make sure both your CPU and motherboard support AMD-V, AMD-Vi and IOMMU.
@@ColdLunaris Thanks for sharing such in depth knowledge ! . I am actually thinking to do 1 CPU 2 or 3 user build. Can you suggest some motherboard and GPUs too?. Budget isnt an issue here
make that 2020
Linus still trying, still innovating. Great video!
+UndyingGhost always has been
Except I seen this like 4 years ago from VMware
+Nathan saunders VMware Workstation messes up your GPUs.
Its not really innovation,but hey good on them for helping people realize they can do this really
+Seraphim Eter don't think he means VMware Workstation but rather VMware ESXI. Workstation is for virtualization inside a host OS, while ESXI, like Lime unraid, is essentially a virtualization server.
I kind of want to use this to set up a tower with 7 machines on it. One machine that uses everything, two that split it in half, and four that also split everything evenly. Boot the virtual machines that meet your current needs. Could you imagine being able to support 4 people on one machine for a LAN party?
+Wells That would 1. be a nightmare to configure, and 2. run very poorly, as essentially you have the 4 gaming VMs, plus 3 "management" operating systems. Linux doesn't have a lot of overhead, but there still is some. Not sure how well it would run, or even if it would run at all due to several VMs accessing the same graphics card, I don't think it works that way as in this video, each graphics card is passed through to a single VM, and they are not split in half.
A better idea would probably be to get 4 dedicated graphics cards, run 4 VMs, assign a card to each VM and then have the onboard GPU (you can configure the BIOS to use that as output) run the management VM, in this case unRAID (?). It'd be kinda expensive though, as you need a motherboard that supports 4 graphics cards, a CPU powerful enough to run everything at acceptable speeds AND you need the 4 graphics cards. I don't know if you need 4 of the same type of card for this kind of scenario, maybe just have everyone bring their own card? Like BYOGPU? :D
+Wells you cannot share the GPU between multiple VMs.. and by that I mean only one VM can have a GPU passed through. That is the only way the VM will game with decent performance.
regular VM graphics can be shared among the VMs but it will not have anything close to gaming caliber graphics.
*****
You aren't running all 7 at the same time. If you're running the 4 slower Computers, the faster 3 aren't on. If you're running the fastest one, the other 6 aren't on. Yeah, you'd need 4 GPUs to do this properly, but that means the fast machine will have 4-way SLI (assuming that can be virtualized), and the 2 mid speed rigs will have 2-way.
BYOGPU could work with this (SLI may be wonky though), although I don't know how many people would take apart their computer to avoid bringing the tower. I would rather have this be a permanent machine with the same card in each slot. Then you only need to worry about one tower for up to 4 people, and can make use of more of the machine's power if you have fewer.
Joe Sirianni
The only GPU sharing going on in the configuration I'm proposing is by machines that operate on a mutually exclusive basis. The 4-way SLI machine doesn't run at the same time as the 4 single GPU machines, none of which runs at the same time as the 2 2-way SLI machines.
+Wells The one problem with that is the cpu that you need to run.
You can easily find a motherboard supporting 4 way sli and 4 gpu's via pcie but you're gonna need a cpu with at least 12/16 cores if you want to game on it in any way or form. Using 3 here is a stretch already, you saw the 20% decrease in fps. But going from 3 to 2 cores per VM, you're gonna be looking at a drastic decrease in the region of 60% of the 3 core VM's performance especially running newer DX10 or 11 games.
The only such cores that currently exist would be the top grade skylake processors that were recently released but i'm not sure they're compatible with this kind of unraid linux vm set up. Especially when its performance relies on hyper threading and taking only 3 cores from that kind of cpu will make things difficult at the least.
Other than that you also have to consider heat management/cooling. A reference card of any sort (let's just say the 980ti that Linus threw in) runs at around 70-80 under load. Even on the best motherboards that can actually fit 4 gpu's you're gonna be putting them right against each other like in this one.
Since you can't watercool in such a set up, nor use anything other than reference cards you're going to be looking at alot of heat that any amount of default case fans or cooling is just not going to cut it. I don't know about you but if i had 4 980ti's i would really REALLY hate to burn them all out.
Also the server VM that Linus used in this video REQUIRES different usb peripherals or it doesn't work. I just tried to put two razer blackwidows (one for each) and its so hard to program both to work individually. If Linus can't figure out how to do it i don't think it can be done.
Basically i think that as of now, the technology available to the consumer market pretty much limits us to a dual vm tower as the absolute maximum if you want to retain any kind of performance over both of them. Heat, Compatibility and Performance issues (pretty much it).

"Super overpowered machines with like 8 processing cores" 1:40
That aged well...Thx Amd
Lol,i thought the same bro
this video is like wine.
I need this video, but with today’s technology!With the competitiveness of AMD, the power of both CPUs/GPUs, and the scarce supply of hardware this idea could be a good solution for couples who want to game together but don’t want to buy/build separate rigs.
why would a couple want to game together but not do it in a different pc ? Its like wanting to go on the toilet at the same time, it works if the toilet is big enough, but.....why ???? It's a cool concept sure, but the ONLY one that can benefit from it, its someone who really struggles with space (which is still absurd since you can build on minitower a quite strong pc).
Even if its a money issue, the fact that you will need 2+ gpus on this specific rig, it just doesnt save enough for the trouble, all the parts except gpu can be found on good prices (gamingwise). I'm pretty sure that 2 pcs are extremely better (specially long term) than do all these stuff to get ..... 1.5 pc. Not even mentioning how much of a pain in the ass would be if one pc is underperforming for whatever reason.
@@HarryLostOne Strongly disagree. I live in brazil and we are fancing scarcity of pc components. Me and my wife own the exactly same PC, its a Ryzen 5 3600X, 16GB 3200Mhz, SSD 480GB, RTX2060, Asus A520M Plus, Corsair CX550 Bronze.
But if we had to build only one PC we could have gone with a Ryzen 9 5950X, 32GB 3200Mhz, 2X 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus, 2X RTX2080 Super, MSI MEG X570S, Super Flower 1000W Platinum... We would have to add only $160 more to the build...
For some freaking reason low specs components are way more expensive than it should....

Wow, still using nvidia, they must have payed you a lot to promote only their stuff and not AMD's virtual GPU. Witch actually is much better as it is not software emulated as this thing but it's hardware virtualized, yes it is firepro only for now but I tried it and works great!
+Tiberiu Mihai Rezus I'm using PCI device passthrough. It doesn't matter what virtualization support the card has. Also, why would I want FirePros for a gaming machine?
ROASTED
+Tiberiu Mihai Rezus Waaaahhhhh!
You could have used radeons too, gcn are very capable cards and i really don't get it why do you use only nvidia products for you builds. Star wars battlefront runs best on AMDs, you said it, so why testing it with nvidias? For me it's none sense.
Yes you are right, this is not actual visualization but PCI passtrough, I actually got confused. As I said amd's virtualisation solution it's only for firepros but it's hardware based so you could use the saders of one or more gpus on many virtual machines or external devices with great scalabitily. Thats sick. Hope they will implement that on cunsumer cards.
Again I hope to see more flexibility for the hardware you advertise in future, seeing you using only nvidias might make people think you are not so independent as you appear.

Could you do 4 players with an 18 core zeon?
+Gregory Carnegie dont forget he has a 36C 72T render farm :p
I believe you could. But you would need the onboard graphics and 4
Other gpus on the same motherboard. Though it would be a pain in the ass to configure. Probably also overclock the xeon as they usually have lower clock speeds
+Vlad Puriy couldn't you just put more than 4 gpus in your system? remember that you wouldn't be using them in sli or cf so I don't know if the limit of 4 gpus still applies without interconnecting them. there are mainboards with more than 4 pcie slots since some expansion cards other than gpus can use them too. The only thing that maybe could be a problem are the pcie lanes of the xeon then.
remember that for every virtual machines your going to run (in this case 4) you are going to need 1 gpu for each.
plus another for the main input

Thats cool, another Video shows a similar setup with Citrix XEN, it was some years ago, and it was far more complicated.
But the Idea is cool, especially for Linux Freaks like me.
Question: Could you compare different Virtual Software and Hypervisors, I would love to see witch one has the most performance, on that list: Linux KVM (that you use in this video) XEN, VirtualBox and VMWare.
+Toxicity1987 Almost forgot, Fuck HyperV!
+Toxicity1987 Im an IT systems admin and I use Virtualbox/VMWare/ and Hyper-V. Why do you say Hyper V sucks? Because its not a bare metal VM? Maybe that was the case years ago, but today if your using something like Windows Server 2012 the difference will not be noticeable.
Xyos212 Windows Server 2012 is still bloatware which eats too much system resources for itself, what need it again to run without any service? 1GB of RAM? It's still load a GUI (which is bullshit on a Server) and to many services on its own.
If MS don't make a dedicated HyperV server which is minimalistic so as it should be, it is and remains the worst Hypervisor on the market.
Toxicity1987 That's silly in todays modern world, where servers have from 128gb of RAM to 1 terabyte of ram, with CPU's in servers with dozens of cores spread over multiple CPU's....
+Toxicity1987 Microsoft DID make a dedicated HyperV server :) It's called HyperV Server 2012 and it's free!
Remains one of my all time fave vids LTT has ever released... holy crow this was 3 years ago???
The hidden treasure of this video, which ironically Linus forgets to mention, is the fact that you can actually run AAA games within a Linux ecosystem. Yes, it needs a Windows VM but this is, for now, an acceptable workaround to being required to run Windows natively in order to play some of my favorite current games (those I want are always the ones that will likely never have native Linux compatibility). You don't have to set it up in a "one computer/two gamers" type of way and this is possible with more than just Lime-O. For those interested, look into PCI passthrough via VT-d and IOMMU. There have been several handy guides published in the last few months.
you and whoever you share this PC with could potentially split
the price by going halves in the CPU, PSU, ram, MOBO, case, etc.
meaning that you only pay full price for your individual graphics cards.
that means you can get top of the range everything!
or make a dual family computer setup.
great idea budget-wise!!!
That's actually a great idea
+Wolfstorm33 very true.
kevin G.
depending on pc cost u could save anywhere from 500 bucks to a few thousand.
+Wolfstorm33 Keep in mind that he's using an 3 - 3.5 ghz 8 core cpu that costs almost 3 times as much as a 4 - 4.2 ghz 4 core 6700k. I'm not sure you would actually end up saving much.
Also, the VM that he benchmarked at the end was only using 3 cores. He didn't say why but I would guess it would be due to assigning one to run the VM software. I'm not sure if you could even plug in a USB device without assigning it to 1 of the VMs.
It's an interesting idea but I have my doubts about whether it would ever be worth doing.

Lol
+Bob Roberts I missed it. Where in the video was it?
John Doe
In the beginning , when " 2 gamers, 1 cpu" is written at the bottom of the screen. Linus then says yes we can do that .
couldnt this be done without the unraid? just enable all the virtualization features - and run a second OS in in virtual box etc etc - give it half the resources... cores... ram... etc - dedicate one gpu to it... and make it run full screen on the second monitor? give it the correct USB devices and be done? yes. the answer is yes. and then you dont have to buy some useless (for this situation) copy of some linux garbage.
+readyrepairs also you wouldnt need to wait for unraid... and you wouldnt have to boot both machines if you didnt want to... and you wouldnt be relying on a USB drive that could be corrupted or pulled/knocked out by a child/pet... this is stupid Linus. You know this is stupid. Did Unraid pay you or something? I expect so much more of you.
So you went straight from asking if your suggestion would work (it won't if you want to game with full performance) to calling me out for doing it wrong......
+LinusTechTips explain how the performance would be any worse? it would be better... because there wouldn't be a third os using cpu cores.
+LinusTechTips but i still love your Canadian ass regardless.
+readyrepairs i don't know if that would work. a software based vm would be much slower and you'd need pci passthrough drivers to get the most out of a discrete gpu and said drivers are not that stable. not to say that your vm would have to share resources with your hosting os. virtual box uses as many cores as you want it to, but not exclusively, which means your os would still use them and make your vm slower.. in spite of its cost, this solution is closer to the machine's hardware and will get better results
I just discovered Linus Tech Tips this year. So far, this is my favorite build I've seen on this channel, even if it's not the most over-the-top thing I've seen.

LAN gaming with a single motherboard cuts out the most expensive components (case+PSU+CPU+RAM) and only requires you buying 2 GPUs and 2 monitors (I already have 2 monitors) so this could actually be hella awesome for having a friend over to play games! Dang, I might do this with my old tower when I upgrade since it already has 2 GTX 760s in SLI... yeah, this is definitely a fun thing I hope I can do!
Sometimes I think that Linus opens so many tabs because he doesn't want people to know what's in each tab
2021 update request. UP UP UP
They should do a 3rd gen Ryzen version of this
Just wondering how this does with games with built in anti-cheat? A lot of blizzard games running warden will flag clients running on virtualized machines as bots. does anyone know if warden still functions in this way? Will a setup like this still be flagged?
Lol
+Saelaniify That's not really the focus of this video. You'd have to confirm that on the corresponding game's devs.
+Saelaniify Not really, since the OS is virtualized on a much lower level unlike VMWare. We use a similar setup for work here and there's no problems with games that has Anti-Virtualization tech.
+Saelaniify Blizzard has no way of checking you run on a VM, I think you are a bit paranoid..
Pytte
Warden checks memory so yes they do.
When you use this as a guide to set up an Unraid VM in 2022 as it is still the clearest tutorial you can find 👍
I can't believe this dude was doing this 7 years ago. Holy moly
please please please redo this video with ryzen, i will literally pay you. Like this so he sees
search it on google you will find your solution
Just use Min's Softxpand or Ibik's Aster.
So he commented you need VT-X and VT-D support to run the virtualization correctly. I might be wrong but Ryzen doesn't support those.
Ryzen does support them, they just have different names, I believe the name for PCI passthrough is AMD-Vi and the virtualization is AMD-V or AMD-VTx or something. Although different motherboards put these options in different places, and some don't even support it.
More of the reasons we need to ask Linus to redo this again
Is the red graphics card from Scapyard Wars season 3?
Rainbow Nati yes definitly😂
no because of how many video cards they had they just farted it out
I'm running a 3-headed linux machine at home for light gaming (Warcraft III, Minecraft, Crysis, etc.). Many linux distributions have multiseat support built in, and it really works! 90% of the time. But it's also a headache. I get seats that won't wake up from sleep, seats that lock randomly and can only be unlocked from terminal, and some games that take a lot of tinkering to allow multiple users to run them at the same time. I'm thinking about transitioning to something like this virtualized setup in the video, but I'm torn because I hate the idea of installing and running multiple instances of the OS, especially multiple Windows instances. I'm already maxxing out the 16GB RAM right now!
My first Ingrid game idea using this technique is to make myself two drum sticks for my linked drum kit. Soon we can drum each other's Windows 10 PC.
It's learning well.
0:14 is luke gregnant?
+Airboss I think they mean "guy pregnant"
+SnufflesDominance That's amazing
+Airboss XXDDDDDDD LOL SUCH FUNNY HAHAHA
+Bako Kay Didn't he used to be thinner in the past?
+POTATO LAND He drinks too much beer
holy fucking chrome tabs
I'm getting the inspiration from this video to make one physical machine, two physical consoles for work and play.
I have three kids and one day they will all need to be able to join the PCMR, this may be my best bet to keep the footprint low but the usability high!
I don't even know why I watched this video if I'm never going to build a "double" PC 😂😂
That GPU got a grand piano casually sitting on top of it
So what I will need (correct me if I'm wrong) :
A Tower with a decent CPU (capabale of runnning virtualization)
2 decent GPUs for gaming
1 extra GPU/ could also be the onboard graphics so I'm gonna choose that one
an extra pc/laptop which with I can access to the Unraid
enough space and ram
and 2 monitors
right??
For anyone who is thinking of doing this in an existing Host - The host + VMM combination needs PCI-E , more specifically, Physical GPU passthrough support.
Windows host + Oracle VBox - No
Windows host + VMPlayer - No
Windows Client OS + Hyper-v - No
From the little online reading I did, only Windows Server editions seem to support this, with Hyper-V.
Haven't done any testing / checks on other non-Windows OS variants though
nice 6-pack, luke
but can it run crisis?
nope, it will hardly run youtube, so it definitely wouldn't run crysis
+Lor Reuben what about DAVE? can it run that?
+Lor Reuben I heard it can run Potato 3 - Getting Baked at like 5-10 FPS at low settings.
Can't run youtube? It is running BF with full setting at 1080p at 100fps+
+Kris S Please tell me you're joking
"...what's the fun of having a dual-headed gaming box if you don't have someone to enjoy it with?"
That cuts deep, man.
Should make another one of these, I loved your 6 people 1 cpu
There are a lot of comments, and obviously I didn't read any single one of them, but, surprisingly, among the ones I've read, everyone's talking about "performance per dollar" (AMD v NVidia, basically) and nobody's talking about performance PER WATT... an AMD set (FX + 2x Radeon) would skyrocket the power needs, and you'll basically need a bigger power supply.
According to eXtreme Power Supply calculator, these are the numbers:
i7-4790k + 2x 8GB DDR3 + 2x GTX970 + 2x SSD + 2x DVD-RW + 2 USB devices + 2x mouse + 2x keyboard + 1x Corsair H110i GTX = 612W
AMD FX 9590 + 2x 8GB DDR3 + 2x R9-290 + 2x SSD + 2x DVD-RW + 2 USB devices + 2x mouse + 2x keyboard + 1x Corsair H110i GTX = 937W
So with Intel+NVidia you're basically tight with a 650W 80+ power supply, but with AMD you'd be tight with a 1000W power supply. What you save in processor and graphics card, you'd invest in power supply and electric bill xD
Jay did a review on the most expensive component vs the cheapest with the highest power draw and it turned out the higher power draw was cheaper to run in the end because you pay a lot more the expensive component. Why not use a RX 460, 470 or 480 ?
I don't think it's a matter of "how much money will it cost me to run my rig all year", but "am I saving by buying more expensive and better performance components instead of buying a 1000w power supply, a cooler for dissipating all that heat and a case to fit all that?".
That's basically what I meant. Intel wins this generation (I'm talking about since the Core2's) because it offers same performance in exchange of less power requirements and less heat, thus, smaller (and cheaper?) cases, fans and power supplies.
Am I clear now? I'm not very good at explaining the concepts in my head haha
They use this similar build at my local pc cafe they keep it for 1v1s :D
You guys build the best streaming and game video systems.
This would be amazing for anyone who does TH-cam or twitch.
You could make a lot of money just making computers like this for the video gaming community
That's a great thing to make, if you have for example 2 kids who like to play games. You can cut cost a lot by not duplicating unnecessary hardware, and still having really great performance. Truly epic project.
Petition to remake this video for 2024
Reminds me of two girls one cup
why did your remind me about that -_-
two girls one cpu*
two guru's one cpu
i was eating thank you for putting that image in my head
two boys one cpu
This needs a comeback
I would like to see this revisited with a gen 3 threadripper and maybe a trx40 board.
NOW the question is: HOW does screen capture work for THIS?!
Since each side is its own VM it would work just the same as a normal pc.
:O I NEED THAT LOL
this would have been amazing growing up and avoiding fighting with my brother over game time (maybe not a bad thing). sadly not possible in the mid 90s. lol
Linus's ad on linus's channel. that LICEPTION !
Watching you guys makes me wish that I worked there. Wow. So much goes on here.
ok im gonna open an internet cafe in my country now. So efficient. Gonna fuck this.
nice thats this one is actually with ONE cpu!~!
Well it is not easy running, let's say 10 people one one fuckin tower. they need more cpus.
Xeon and multi socket might be there to save the day
This is rad. My fiancee wants to get into gaming with me, but she doesn't want to invest in a entire PC but wants to play Co-op with me so this would be awesome. I want a super over powered PC for fun anyway.
The start of something... something beautiful.
very great video
very informative
and how about same thing just on debian
not on lime-technology thing may be more interesting for linux fans
