Linus uses Unraid for a Virtualized Gaming Build

A good overview of virtualization.

Hmm video isn't loading for me on here. Can view here:

Awesome.  Nice to see unRAID getting the press it deserves, even if the NAS functionality was completely glossed over.  ;D

That was a great video!!!

Great job Limetech, you made it happen!

 

 

Thanks guys!  We actually posted on the blog about this as well.  Hoping to work with Linus on other projects in the future.  This one was really focused on getting two gaming rigs running at the same time, and not really focused on unRAID as an OS and what it can do.  Just goes to show how much potential this thing brings to the table.

Linus should put "unRAID" in the title.

I want to do this to but I am running this:

 

Cpu: Intel i7 6700K

Mobo: MSI Z170 M9 ACK

Ssd: 2x Samsung 850evo 500GB

Psu: Corsair RM 650

RAM: Kingston Hyperx 32gb DDR4 2666MHZ 15cl

Gpu: 2x MSI GTX 970 4GB

Case: Corsair 780T Black

 

Is it possible to do the gaming virtualisation to create 2 Gaming rigs with my I7 6700K?

Can he handle that?

It's not as high-end as what Linus did (CPU is about half the threads of what Linus used) but it could work giving each VM only 4 threads.

Oke then we have to test this project out I gues?

:D

 

but if I want to use the trial version of unRAID I can only use 3 atached devices, what does it mean?

GPU is 1

GPU is 2

Mouse is 3

???

 

Or is it like this:

Mouse is 1

keyboard  is 2

webcam is 3

Attached device limits refers to the number of disk drives.

so I can plug in 2 hdd's

 

and:

2 keyboard's

2 mice

2 gpu's

2 usb headsets

Yes - it is only HDD/SSD's that are counted towards the license limits.

I was debating if i should go with unraid and linus definitely steered me to it.  Just setup my unraid nas (going to swap out my 3770k for a 3770 so I can do some virtualization) and i'll be good to go! Excited :)

Hi, I'm new here. So I'm sorry if my question is for beginners. I think it looks awsome with a gaming PC that can be divided into two gaming machines. If I use identical graphics cards and SSDs, is it then possible to run SLI and raid on SSDs when the PC is not shared? (without having to reinstall the unRAID?)

 

My system:

 

CPU:I7 4790k

Mobo: Asus z97 VI Hero

RAM: 16 GB 1866MHz DDR3 (2x8)

GPU: 2x MSI GTX 970 4G (SLI)

SSD: 2 x Samsung EVO 250GB

HDD: 1x 7200 RPM 1 TB

 

Do I need anything else to get this setup running two Virtual machines?

SLI is doubtful. RAID SSD, nope. Your best bet is to assign the SSD's as a btrfs Cache pool and point the VM vdisks to a folder on that.
