Display using thunderbolt 3 for each users.

[Yoon Hur]

Hello,

I've plan to configure display using by thunderbolt 3 (PCI-E Thunderbolt 3 Cards) without graphic cards for multiple users.

Is this possible on latest UNRAID software?

you might need to have an actual graphics card passed through to the VM for windows installation, and to install drivers but i dont see why it wouldnt work? 

what would the benefit be of using a thunderbolt 3 card as apposed to a normal gpu?

Billington Mark,

I want to make one PC with multiple users(about five people team) small office environment that can connect each tables just one cable as thunderbolt 3.

So that each people can use 4k resolution graphic and USB(Keyboard and mouse and etc..).

But thunderbolt have limit distance 3 meter as copper cable.

So you can see the thunderbolt 3 extension cable over fiber that have limit distance up to 60 meter as below URLs.

So wants setup multiple thunderbolt 3 PCI-E cards in one PC and than install UNRAID software and connect each thunderbolt 3 port for each users.

Actually, I don't need GPU performance for our office environment.

Do you understand what I mean?

Is this possible?
