February 4, 201610 yr I was curious how well the virtualization works under unraid KVM. Mainly how well the GPU passthrough works, so I did a quick test. I ran the PC Mark benchmarking software. It runs for 5 minutes then spits out some numbers for CPU, GPU, and a bunch of other system components. For reference, I am using a FX-6300 CPU with a GTX 560Ti GPU. Win10 on baremetal: CPU score: 6658 GPU score: 3746 Win10 on UnRaid hypervisor (SeaBIOS, i440fx) CPU score: 5562 GPU score: 1880 The CPU performance I can live with (10ish% lower) but the GPU performance is half. Not very cool. More testing is required but so far I'm not too happy. Has anyone else done any benchmarking?
February 4, 201610 yr does it also do disk benchmarks? Disk performance isn't that great with 6.1.7 either. not sure if its unraid specific or just kvm in general.
February 4, 201610 yr I did some quake 3 benchmarking baremetal: 280fps Vm: 255fps running two vm's at once vm:230fps
February 4, 201610 yr I have been doing the same recently and haven't found such a big difference although I was using the Asus Realbench suite. The GPU based benchmark was the same, the CPU was about 95% if I remember. Let me try setting up the same machine again and run the same as you. My testing was on an Intel X58 platform, will also test on a new X99 setup as I should be able to tweak the xml. Afraid I don't have anything AMD (other than an AM2 setup).
February 4, 201610 yr Not seeing PC Mark 7 or 8 give results like you have, are you sure that is the software you used? Is there somewhere specific in the results to get the CPU / GPU breakdown, I may be missing something. Happy to try and run comparisons if you can give me specifics, I would guess you have something wrong with your setup/installation on the VM.
