Hello!

 

Here is my current build:

CHASSIS - Corsair Carbide 270R Windowed Black Mid Tower [On Sale]

MOTHERBOARD - AMD TR4 X399 ATX Pro Edition

CPU - AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16 Core 32 Thread 4.4GHz

CPU COOLER - Noctua NH-U14S TR4 CPU Cooler

RAM - 32GB DDR4 OC

GRAPHICS CARD - Nvidia RTX 2060 6GB

PRIMARY DRIVE - 500G NVMe M.2 SSD - Up to 3,500MB/s

SECOND DRIVE - 500G NVMe M.2 SSD - Up to 3,500MB/s

THIRD DRIVE - 2TB Hard Drive - 150MB/s

POWER SUPPLY - 750w 80 Plus Gold [$20 OFF]

NETWORK CARD - WiFi Dual Band AC (WiFi 5) Pro Internal Adapter - Up to 1300Mbps

 

I am looking to have multiple VM's, SHARE the single GPU.

My current understanding, is that the RTX 2060 does not support pass through (natively).

 

Is it possible with unraid to have 2 VM's SHARE the GPU?

 

Regards,

Nick

I have no idea whether there are any issues passing through the GPU you mention, but I am assuming that you will be able to as otherwise any VM is using an emulated GPU so the sharing point is irrelevant.    Only one VM can use a particular hardware resource at a time (although they can share it if they are not running at the same time).   If you want both VMs running simultaneously then one would have to be the primary and given the GPU, and the other use an emulated GPU and accessed using either VNC or something like RDP (or an equivalent).
