Attempting VGPU setup for the third time

[Tom Speirs]

So I tried several years ago with vSphere esxi and later with Hyper-V RemoteFX and got it working in both cases but didn't get a suitable setup I was happy with.

So I've just ordered some kit to try again, this time with Hyper-V DDA and a Grid k520 I got off ebay along with upgrading my workstation to an X399 build.

Anyone here have any idea, what I am talking about!?

Sorta, kinda, but not exactly. I know that vSphere esxi is a bare metal hypervisor and pretty much the same for anything leveraging Hyper-V. Quick "google" indicates you may be building  a server running Server 2016. Am I close?

[Tom Speirs]

Yes, if I have issues with 2019. 2019 not officially supported for PCI passthrough according to NVIDIA. So have to see.

Not RemoteFX, dda this time around. Rermotefx discontinued.

Gotcha, sounds interesting albeit on a different technical level than that of most of us here

Well, I tried but went with Parsec streaming on the actual hardware.

Has anyone else tried Parsec? Its free and pretty amazing. Getting fluid 60fps at 1080p and everything I throw at it works including Geforce Expereince video capture.

I could see this being really cool for older game titles that had LAN support or like Pod Racer that had IPX, but included no way to game with opponents over the internet.   Remakes of these classics and some like Battlezone could really find renewed energy if the multiplayer can be put back on the table.

 

I'm sure there are more possibilities than those, but these immediately came to mind after looking at their webpage.  Not really a huge surprise, but I'd never heard of it until your mentioning it.

Who am I kidding though, I haven't gamed in years now.....one can dream!
