Windows 10 Gaming VM


Blade

Recommended Posts

Looking for some feedback here...

 

I have a Supermicro X8DTH-6F motherboard with dual xeon x5670 CPUs and 96GB RAM

I have a Windows 10 VM setup in unraid with 4 cores and 16GB RAM and a GTX970 passed thru to the VM

I am using Splashtop for the VM and have also tried NoMachine

I have steam loaded and have installed a few games.

I can play the games just fine but they seem to move too fast for the video to catch up. There is no lag in the gaming but it seems that the gaming moves too fast for the Splashtop or NoMachine connection to the VM

 

Has anyone else experienced this - maybe there is some setting I am missing

Like I said - the is no lag per se... it seems like Splashtop or NoMachine cannot keep up with the gaming speed

 

Feedback welcome please.

Look into steam streaming for a better experience gaming.

This.  I played around with a SteamLink I picked up when they were on sale a while ago and just tried it yesterday with my gaming VM.  On a wired connection it ran great.  There were a few small hiccups but they were very minor.

I just tried the Steam streaming - much better but I notice a little pausing here and there in Mortal Kombat XL

Injustice 2 plays perfectly

Ultra SF IV plays perfectly too

Wonder if there are some tweaks to get MKX working flawlessly

 

isolating cpus and emulator pinning is the first place to start if you haven't already done so.
