Yup. Without VT-D the virtualised OS's can't get direct access to PCIe devices, as in the GPU's.
Thought as much, just thought people should be aware.
Yeah, I think this is way over simplified.
Johnnyguru's forum is a place to learn. I know how to pick my PSU, there is a balancing act to perform of course between many variables (required 12v amperage, single/many rails, capacitor brand, capacitor temp rating, fan type/bearing, size, efficiency, ripple). After that's been accounted for the last thing to consider is going up or down your chosen PSU range in terms of wattage, here it's only the fan profiles that will change +/-200W approximately.

I would like to one day make something similar to use Octane render (so it has to be nvidia) and that water block just looks so beautiful, but no way I'm putting seven cards, I would rather keep it at four and go for titan models of that time.

Both the Collider and the new rig are close to traditional configs for single-node rendering.

Because of... insane deal, mostly.
Yeah, what's up with this? Maybe he will show that at CES and maybe wasn't ready for prime time on his youtube channel?
x99/x79 K chips have both as well. Enthusiast chips in general aren't really limited by this.
That wouldn't be anywhere near as interesting from an entertainment value perspective, but I'm curious as to how you arrived at this conclusion.
Most of the components would be a wash (SSDs, Ram, GPUs), except now you need 6 more cases (albeit cheaper cases), 6 more motherboards, 6 more radiators/fans/connection pieces/etc, 5 more CPUs, 6 more motherboards, etc, etc.

I wish companies would give me free high end PC parts...
Get 2 million YouTube subscribers and I'm sure they'd be happy to have you market products for them.
Awesome build, though, really like some of the stuff they've been doing on LTT recently, one of my favorite channels on YT. Not sure what the application would be for a build like this, but it sure is cool.
So, I really would like to do something like this just for two users.
I know that Linus did that but honestly I would like to do it a bit different.
My pc:
i7 4790k
Asus Maximus VI Gene
2x 8gb 2400 DDR3 Hyper X
1x 500gb MX100
1x 2tb Western Digital 5200rpm
1x 1tb Seagate 5200rpm
1x GTX 970
1x 750w Corsair rm750
1x GTX 580 (currently not in the pc)
And I have currently one PCIexpress slot free, just recently removed the second 970.
What's the best way to get a 1, two user setup possible for gaming with one getting the 970 and the other the 580?
Most of the time I will be the only user for that right and honestly I would like it if it's something optional without messing around too much.
Would a Virtual box in windows be capable of doing that?

Linus is awesome. Man the shit that guy does with company sponsored builds...
I remember this one build where none of the heatsinks he had would fit the motherboard socket so he jimmy-rigged one on using zip ties

Really..? Perhaps in some instances. Then in other instances people know that power efficiency/heat waste is better around half load.. efficiency is however also dependent on the psu quality of course.
Edit: well actually, even so, very few people need even half of 1000 watts........

All his videos are about bragging the shit he gets from sponsors wanting to give him stuff. So fucking jealous but I love it because he's putting them to good use in ways you'd try to think of what's possible.

Damn they're at 2 mil now? Well deserved, LTT is the only channel that makes serious reviews and unboxing videos entertaining and of course videos like these are just as good.

As a product reviewer, I'm not really a Linus guy but I do like a lot of the side projects they do and informative videos they produce. Considering where he comes from, it makes sense that he doesn't approach things as a typical reviewer but his willingness to accept products given to them as actual production and office equipment turns me off from a review standpoint.

ENIAC am cry.
People grossly overestimate the power draw of their components because:
- marketing
- trash tier power supplies are unreliable at outputting consistent power and GPU and CPU manufacturers have to overestimate their power requirements as a precaution
- the "efficiency sweet spot" narrative is overvalued - the difference in efficiency at 50-80% is miniscule and only amounts to a handful of dollar difference per year in electricity bills, hardly worth the price difference of a more expensive larger supply
I bought a 850W when my real load would probably only be 300W ever due to the lower wattage models all having some kind of problem.
Not even close.
In this Jayz Two Cents video, he's got an overclocked 3770k, overclocked GTX 680, water cooling, 12 fans, SSDs and hard drives, LEDs, and running GPU and CPU stress tests simultaneously, and only drawing 350W from the wall.
Yeah, easy to imagine but nobody is going to make this a reality. Far too cumbersome.

Linus is awesome! His channel has been awesome to follow due to all his wacky projects. He is doing a lot for the PC community. he is sometimes cringy and have such bad jokes but you cant help but loove the guy. But there are other tech channels people should follow!
others being;
Dave Lee: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVYamHliCI9rw1tHR1xbkfw < He simply has some of the best Laptop reviews. He is a gamer but also focuses on productivity. There is a great pace in his reviews, good production values, everything is nice and smooth. Subscribe to this guy!
HardwareCanucks; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTzLRZUgelatKZ4nyIKcAbg < Has the best case reviews. It's like Rodney Reynolds made love with a motherboard tray and Hardwarecanucks was born. There are also some surprisingly good audio reviews. A lot of headphones, ear piece / audio equipment reviews on youtube are incredible pretentious and obtuse because of how difficult it is to show the difference in quality between audio products, but they do it well. I really like what they are doing.
Tek Syndicate; https://www.youtube.com/user/razethew0rld < If Waynes World was a gaming tech channel it would be Tek Syndicate. These guys are awesome and likeable. Really fun to listen to them dicking around.
Mobile Tech Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/user/MobileTechReview < Lisa Gade from MTR simply makes the most indepth Laptop, Smartphone and Tablet reviews I have ever seen. Many of her videos are 40+ min long, she is a frequent poster at FNBR. She really knows her stuff. Her real life benchmarks are pretty solid, and almost always she will test how games run even on low end devices which is nice.
She focuses a lot on stuff others don't, things like types of Vram, solid real life testing of battery, comparisons to previous models and she always looks into where it fits in the cycle.
She is also not particularly biased for or against apple products or have weird stigmas or hangups about other brands. Really cool.
Pauls Hardware; https://www.youtube.com/user/paulshardware < Great dude. A lot of people know him from Newegg but he has started his own channel. I like his delivery and calmness.
Techsource; https://www.youtube.com/user/Thramkar < I havent followed this guy long but he has a show called setup wars which is really nerdy but fun. Has some amazing setups that people set in. HNNNGGGG
MKBHD; https://www.youtube.com/user/marquesbrownlee < No list is complete without this guy. He has a nice perspective on tech outside that of gaming. He also looks at it from a productivity stand point and I really dig his style.
Still, nobody does what Linus does<3

I wouldn't be surprised if it was more efficient than running 7 separate PCs.
This seems highly likely, especially if the computers are also used for general purpose tasks. The Idle power for 1 PC will be much lower than that of 7. Seeing as most power management schemes are mostly comprised of race to idle it is a good assumption.
Just thinking of the number of peripherals that would be replicated and consuming power would also add up if using 7 separate computers all with their own efficiency losses.
I don't think LTT is sponsored by them, but he does appear in some of their videos sometimes.
He used to work on the "Social media" team for NCIX at some point with a lady (can't remember her name). They were posting a bunch of how-to videos and stuff on the site.
