Hi all,
My name is Jan-Paul from the Netherlands. I've been using unraid for a while now, mostly as a NAS and with sabnzb. Still on version 5.xx I think. Recently I looked up the forums and saw interesting things. AS version 6 has arrived, with new options that I am interested in but do not know where to start. As I see it, I rediscovered the forum again 6 month's too late.
I am using unraid for storing movies in HD and with Kodi, streaming stuff. Using VM's is drawing my attention as it might be useful for me. Wanting to use unraid to use one system to be able to use two or three streams simultaneausly and use two windows 10 systems for general use and or medium gaming. Possibly using GPU passthrough from unraid server to clients.
Talking about clients, what should I use as clients for my kids, if passthrough is possible.? Sever will be on the third floor, clients in de livingroom. I do have wired network with gigabit capability. But does passthrough work through network? Can anyone give me hints where to start reading. As the forum is a bit overwhelming with info. Concering hardware I am not up to date or better yet up to a level so I can make desiscions about what kind of cpu/ motherborad to get for the tasks I want to use it for. V3 xeons look ok but they are not as cheap anymore and are power hungry. Would go for it as the cpu's were still $70, proper motherbords (server grade) are expensive. But the Vti Vtd things are confusing and QS an ES. Bwhoaarch, can't see the thees through the wood. Dutch saying that doen't make sense in English but let's say, I am a bit lost.
