Hey guys,
First post here - would love some advice! I'm looking to build a workstation on an Asus Z10PE-D8 with 2x E5-2699v4. Looking to put about 128gb DDR4 2133 ECC. Booting off of a Samsung 960 Pro attached to the m2 slot. Also going with 2x GTX 1080s in SLI.
My primary concern is that the CPU I'm going with has a lower clock speed than your average i7. I'm upgrading from a 3930k. I'm curious whether I can leverage the crazy processing power that 2x 2699s would give me through virtualization. Is there a hypervisor that would allow me to pass through the gfx cards to a guest OS while supplying the guest OS with a virtual CPU that combines 8 cores for example? If I can get Windows to think that I'm running a Quad core setup at 16Ghz per core, I'm sure that's better than running 32 cores at 2Ghz per core.
Any advice would be welcome
Cheers!
