I know we have very IT savvy people in this forum so I brought this subject here.
I have been using VMware workstation 12 on Windows 10 OS and there is no GPU passthrough to VM machines so it is so slow in VM and doing things take a long time. Some people may wonder why anyone use VM machine. VM machines are very convenient because they act as another computer inside of a computer. So you can do multi- task on one monitor and one computer.
I know now that Linux has ability to make GPU passthrough but I am not familiar with Linux and I have to stick with Windows OS as host.
I have bought a new AMD motherboard and planning to buy AMD CPU, Ryzen 7 3700x for this purpose.
What would be the best option to make GPU passthrough with this setup?
First option is to make it small home server with some server program: I think Ryzen 7 has capability to make a server system- someone correct me if I am wrong.
Second idea is installing Linux on Windows OS host in a different hard drive: I don't even know if this will work but just idea and I need your advice.
Please share your knowledge on this and advise me the best way to do.
