Concelor Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 So after weeks of trying to figure out why my old gaming VM wouldn't work I decided to just build a new UNRAID system But this new one is still have some hiccups with 3Dmark Looking through the posts I know this build should be getting at least a score of 12000, yet I'm getting 2000 So there must be something wrong with the set up I can see, either on the Unraid side or the BIOS side I'm hoping a few more sets of eyes can help find the problem Given Fixes Already taken: I pinned the CPUs and isolated Unraid's Pass-through the GPU and GPU sound card I didn't over allocated resources to teh VM Build: M/B: ASRock - X99 Extreme4/3.1 CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-6850K CPU @ 3.60GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled Cache: 384 kB, 1536 kB, 15360

billington.mark Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Check to see if you need to apply the MSI fix. Its usually the case that it needs to be enabled for passed through graphics and sound on i440fx VMs. Instructions are in the WIKI Quote Link to comment
Concelor Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Sorry about that, I didn't know the MSI could affect performance I forgot to mention that, I did do the MSI fixes, even though I'm not using HDMI audio Quote Link to comment
Concelor Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 So I've tried all sorts of BIOS and UNRAID configs and have gotten no better performance out of the system, if anyone has any ideas where to tweak it be appreciated Then it hit me I upgraded everything but the GPU (thinking it would save money) Could an old or dying GPU cause such a low in 3Dmark and gaming performance If so, and I know it may be opening pandora's box, should I be eyeing ATI or NVIDA for a replacement; any recommendations on a solid gaming VM GPU Quote Link to comment
