I watched one of the Linus Tech videos where he made a multiheaded LAN station off a single CPU with multiple GPUs using VMware.
I still have ten 1080TI's from my mining adventures. I enjoy LAN parties. I have kids who would enjoy playing computer games on such an outfit. I could make 4 identical LAN machines, and for less than what it'd cost to make 4 unique machines.
To this end, I'm investigating buying a Threadripper 1950x system so I can have four quad core virtual machines with a 1080TI in each. Probably 4GB or 8GB of RAM assigned to each.
Anyone have any experience with such? Looks like the boards I've looked at the PCI-E lanes are 3.0 x16 x 2 and x8 x 2 - not that big of a deal, but that's really the only minor fault I can see in building something like this.
It can be a LAN outfit, and mine while not gaming (paying itself off in a year or two) - on the four 1080Ti and the Threadripper.
Any particular x399 board you'd specifically recommend for this use case?
