For some reason Hyper-V was enabled and it didn't worked, not even after disabling it. I created a new VM with that disabled and it worked. Weird.

I'm getting error code 43 with the latest unraid beta release. Drivers install just fine but i get that error code.

I completely missed this thread, it's extremely helpful. Looking to go back to test Ryzen for a 2 gamers 1 cpu setup.

Is there any "unraid" like software bult around Xen??

Any link? That's extremely dissapointing hopefully someday they'll fix it.

Can't wait! Hopefully the NPT bug is fixed so we can get proper GPU performance

Now we need a fix for the GPU performance and goodbye intel for me

I'm fed up too but Threadripper is right around the corner so, you're better off waiting a little more to buy another platform.

I was wondering if it's possible to do the same setup with Unraid, that is, using a hard drive with a windows installed to boot it as VM. Maybe that fixes anything?

Came here to post the same thing lol, hopefully there's a fix for GPU performance with that : /

Something i found in the Level1 forums about npt=0

I want this feature too, it's great to make everything easier.

How do i enable/disable that??

These are my IOMMU groups after updating a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming K7 to the latest beta bios with the AGESA 1.0.0.6 code. I had to do the ACS Override Enabled (downstream,multifunction) for them to appear like this, with nothing enabled they look even worse than the previous bios lol. My performance in gaming tanked though, don't know why i'm getting 50-60fps average in the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark when i had around 180-200 on bare metal.

Holy cow, i just remembered to check if this was going somewhere and looks like i can build a 2 in 1 gaming setup with Ryzen now

So a build of 2 gaming VM's in 1 PC is not viable yet with Ryzen ? I mean, is it possible to passthrough everything to build something like that??

Yes, i've already tested that in case i needed to use the internal USB ports. I'm planning to build the PC in a Thermaltake P5 case although for now it's on a bench table.

OMG your post is so on point with things i was searching to see if they were possible or not, thank you so much! Here's some of the thoughts i was having. I found exactly how to convert the array to raid 0, i was also testing raid 10 since technically would give me a certain security level and not the biggest penalty in performance. My thought initially was to do what you exactly said, to give to each VM one SSD, to get the best performance of each drive since they are not the fastest in world and up to a certain they perform the best that way. Will you explain how could i assign them to a VM using the method you said? I literally have no idea how to proceed. I had that thread on my bookmarks since yesterday to test how to properly assign cores and so far it's working perfectly, i only tried it with some cores and a single VM and it's working a lot more smoother than before. I don't get that choppy performance ingame and desktop usage has improved a lot. My original concern was that those problems were caused by the cache array i was using but it seems that it's not it alone and there's a lot of way i could improve the current setup.

Is it possible to assign one SSD per VM? I mean, to locate each VM in a separate SSD to get the best performance of each drive per vm?

Thankfully the cpu did'nt cost me anything, i got one thanks to my job. The problem with server platforms, both xeons and motherboards is that they're not easy to find in my country, and import is not an option, i'm from Argentina. I might be getting some M.2 drives in 3 weeks or so but i'm not sure about that, those 480gb drives are the best i can find for now. I've been testing setting the 4 drives in raid 0 as cache and they gave me quite the boost in performance until i booted up the 3rd VM. For some reason GPU usage is hovering around 50-70% when running Crysis 3 in 2 VM's at the same time, i have set 4 cores per VM, 16gb of ram and 240gb of drive space located in the cache array and using only it. btw i've already tested 4 Nvidia gpu's on this config with the fix posted on this thread. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43644.msg452464#msg452464 Network performance is not something that worries me since the whole set up is meant to play offline. So with the cores performance dropping i guess running 4 vm's with 4 cores each and the rest assigned to Unraid with the 6950x would not be ideal?

I'm fairly new at Unraid and how to set up the correct configuration for storage, i've managed to build a 2 in 1 gaming setup and i was wondering was storage setup would be ideal to crank up that number up to 4 VM's. The whole setup is. Intel 5960x 8 cores, 16 threads. Gigabyte UD4P X99 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400mhz 64gb memory. 2 Western Digital Black 1TB 2 SSD's Kingston UV400 480gb 2 GTX970 Gigabyte Windforce. I can upgrade the ram to 128gb, the cpu to the 6950x and add more SSD's and 2 more gpu's, the question is, what would be the ideal configuration for them. Is there any way to get more performance out of those 4 SSD's set up as cache? From my understanding the 4 would work as Raid 1, giving me 960gb of space avaiable to assignti the VM´s, is there any way to convert that cache pool to raid 0 or something like that?
