August 7, 20232 yr Okay, I’m outgrowing my current setup. I have a Dell R720 with a dual Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2665 0 @ 2.40GHz and 256GB of DDR3 memory. I Also have a gaming PC in my rack. I want to merge the two, but the processor isn’t powerful enough for the VMs I want, and I don’t think my RTX 3070ti is going to fix in the server chassis. (And I don’t know if the bios will support, etc…) I currently run about 25 dockers and 2 Win10 VMs. The VMs have always been slow, so I know I’m gonna need some more juice in the processors. I’ve never even come close to using 256GB of memory, so I think I can scale that back. I’d like some ideas on what others are doing or what hardware I could get to get this RTX card in a new case for a more centralized setup. I want to VM my gaming machine and have it as a part of my server setup. So, are there any server, rack mount, chassis’s available on the market that will accept an RTX 3070ti? I know it’s not a “workstation” card, but I’m not in the market for dropping $4k on a card that I don’t think will perform as good with gaming (like the A6000). If possible, I’d like to stick with my RTX desktop card and build around it. thanks in advance. I’m interested to hear and see what everyone is using.
