Getting the Erying i7-11800h mutant motherboard gaming was fairly straightforward. This post discusses what the experience is like, and gives step by step instructions on how I got it running.

For those wondering, it also works with a Linux VM:

  • Host: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X + Proxmox
  • PCI passthrough for an Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB
  • A Debian VM with 16GB and as many cores as the host have (if you set less cores, you will have to tune cpu affinity/pinning)
  • An HDMI dummy
  • I stream the VM to my office using Sunshine and Moonlight

It’s not easy to set up, but it works. I’m able to run some games like Borderlands 3 running at ~50FPS with a resolution of 1920x1080 with visual effects set to the max (important: disable vsync in the games !).

Only problem is disk access. It tends to add some latency. So with games coded with their ass (ex: Raft), the framerate drops a lot (Raft goes down to 20FPS sometimes).

I have done streaming too but I used parsec.
