MattB Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hey guys, I've been using my 2 Gamers 1 CPU build for a while now with fair success. When it's just myself using one VM gaming, all is well for the most part. You can hardly tell the difference vs. bare metal, minus a small decrease in performance. However, when I have both VMs in game, crashes seem to be persistent. Usually between 40-60 percent chance of a crash on one VM or the other. Ive already got a 2nd PC build lined out to build in the coming months with other plans for my Unraid license, but I'm looking to see if there's any quick fixes I could try that may help my stability in the meantime. I'll include a list of my components down below. Intel i7 8700k pinned 50/50 per VM. ASRock Z370 Extreme 4 Mobo 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro, 12gb in one VM, 16gb in other VM Corsair AX1200 PSU EVGA GTX 1060 6gb SSC EVGA GTX 1080 Ti 2 WD Black Nvme 500gb SSDs 2 Unique USB Cards, each passed through to a VM. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
thatnovaguy Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 So you're assigning all cores and all of your memory to the VMs?Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
MattB Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I originally assigned 12gb ram per, but was trying different things in attempt to resolve it. I do have all cores assigned though. I attempted to leave 2 cores/threads to Unraid but the VMs were pretty much unusable this way. Quote Link to comment
