dheg Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hopefully someone can help... I am planning to replace my old unraid server (a few dockers, but mainly a file server) and was about to pull the trigger with an i9 9900k. The goal is to have a Win 10 VM for gaming and photo editing, and dockers for the usual stuff, plus emby server, tv server, and maybe in the near future pfsense. Then I saw the new Ryzen 3900, which seems to outperform the i9 at the same price (plus the latest security concerns around the intel chips) and started investigating on it. I read that the Ryzen 3000 series don’t work yet with GPU passthrough in unraid, but don't want to drop the 3900, so I thought of starting with a X570 and a Ryzen 2700, so I can upgrade to 3900 in the future. Will the 2700 and X570 work for GPU passthrough? Anyone has successfully built this? Quote Link to comment
GameKing505 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It seems that this reddit user was able to get the 3900 and x570 combo working for gaming with gpu pass-through. Did you ever make your build? Quote Link to comment
juan11perez Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 @dheg interested to know if you built the unit and if so how did it go? Quote Link to comment
dheg Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Actually i didn't, I thought of jumping straight away to the 3900 after reading somewhere that issues were fixed.Then 3900 ran out of stock and decided to wait for the 3950x.I have the x570 taichi awaiting for the 3950x to arrive. I bought it last week on presale, let's wait and see when it comes. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
