I’ve been considering putting together a Threadripper build as my developer machine. Do you have any developer oriented benchmarks that you can share ???

I wonder how it would scale up against Xeon machines. Especially considering Raid and SMT settings, and memory configurations.

850W is not overkill with a Vega 64 and Threadripper. It’s just right.

I want to see some Proton benchmarks with Vega 64. Not many people with Vega cards are really reporting their results with Mesa and Proton’s DXVK.

Also, we need song names, @Wendell! Lest we go Darude Sandstorm on you.

Edit: Get me eye bleach, I read the comments. (one guy seems to be wanting to be banned)

I usually find benchmarks on linux stuff on phoronix, for example:

recycling the dead here but I was wondering if you got sr-iov to work on this board? Linux/Hyper-V/ESXi all fail for me. Got any secret sauce? ASUS wasnt helpful… It’s all enabled in the BIOS… Never had a problem before with SR-IOV…

Before the necro lock:

Most X399 boards don’t have the proper ROM BAR limits for SR-IOV.

Sr iov can work for nics but not graphics cards.

Trying with an Intel X540-T2, and a Mellanox ConnectX-3 situated in the 3rd x16 slot (second armored, should be connected to CPU direct) it errors out when loading the vf-io module for the intel nic and just straight tanks on the mellanox. I’ve tried it with and without amd iommu kernel flags, and with both on a pt set…Think this board is just screwed… also tried with most current bios and all the way back to original release with support tr29xx series… No dice.
