Very interesting. I wonder what sort of (available) CPU would be ideal for such a setup. A 7800x3D or 7950x. Also, was there any hit on the GPU side?

- declaredapple 3y agoYeah I'm very curious as to how this effected 99% framerates and frame pacing. I suspect only a modest hit to average framerate, but I can only imagine it hurt the actual max frametimes which make it "feel choppy" even if the framerate is still higher then your monitor's refresh rate.
- RandomBK 3y agoMore cache never hurts. I'd imagine there were GPU perf gaps, though they were hard to distinguish from CPU-based performance hits. The most notable issues were random latency spikes caused by the multiple layers of hypervisors, which interfered with some games and occasionally caused audio/video desync on Youtube. I ultimately tore down that setup and just swapped to dual-boot. The steps needed to set up high-performance VFIO (i.e. clearing enough contiguous RAM for 1GB Hugepages) meant most of the benefits of VFIO never really materialized for me.
