So I have a spare pc that is an
i7-6700 in a Z170 OC Formula. I will be putting a GTX 980 and a GTX 1070 in a bit. It currently only has 16 GB of ram. Which I’m okay adding more to.
I was wondering if their was any hardware limitation in that setup for running looking glass. I was thinking about two VMs. On Windows with one gpu for gaming and a linux VM. I would probably play what games I can on the linux system. I would be using the linux system for my daily driver.
This will be my first foray into something this difficult. But its a newer cpu than my everyday pc and I think I can overcome the challenges assuming the hardware is capable. Any advice or reasons this may not work?
Now I know what to look for at least. I’ll see what I can turn up.
I wish I could start a build around a Ryzen 5 59xx. But those are not readily available. I did contemplate a 1st gen thread ripper from ebay for this project.
