Hey /g/, I've been a longtime GNU/linux and FreeBSD user

also I know IOMMU on ryzen is a bit iffy now, that's why I asked, does anyone here have an x370 based motherboard and use IOMMU passthrough? Not a ton of info out there

x68000 a shit

>>60226077
Why tho? That case looks comfy

I have used it on Gentoo and with a 6900k and Titan x Pascal I got around 82% native performance. I dual boot now but it's worth using if you have a setup for it and you are prepared to take the performance hit. Some habe gotten up to 97% head on over to the vfio channel on free node.

are you rich nigga

>>60226229
what did you use for your second GPU?

>>60224708
I feel like this thread with a mention of FreeBSD, virtualization, and an image of a SHARP X68000 is an attempt to bait me into posting, because these are basically the only three things I don't shitpost about.
bhyve, the type-2 hypervisor in FreeBSD, just recently added AMD IOMMU support to HEAD, so you could very well run FreeBSD as your hypervisor/storarge OS with zvol-backed bhyve storage and Windows as the guest OS with passthrough access to a dedicated GPU while your FreeBSD host uses smaller GPU or, assuming AMD offers this, an integrated GPU.

>bhyve

I didn't even know fBSD had its own hypervisor. How much can you vouch for it?

I generally run linux on my personal PC and fBSD on servers, just because of compatability and whatnot. Especially regarding drivers.

>>60228852
I, like a few of the FreeBSD commiters, run it in production.

I don't worry about drivers, because I ensure that the hardware I buy will let me run the OS I've chosen - OS is much more of an important choice than hardware is.

For FreeBSD, there's an unwritten rule that anything in -RELEASE is expected by the developers, through several rounds of testing both in -CURRENT and in -STABLE, to be production ready.
-STABLE is generally for people who want to target FreeBSD for development since KBI/ABI doesn't change unless the major version number is bumped, whereas -CURRENT is where all development happens - and as a result, it's the most unstable where KBI/ABI can change at any given moment.

Running KVM-QEMU/vfio passthrough on Fedora 25. Really easy to setup, and good support from the community. Only performance hit that is noticeable will come from CPU limited scenarios, or from poor disk IO performance (depending on your choice of storage - i.e. a complete passthrough of a secondary SATA controller will run much closer to native IO than a qcow image stored on the host disk ).

Used it with a i7 4770 and RX 470, performance was not notably harmed and all my vidyas ran fine.

I've heard of this before. It sounds like it's kinda working? How would one test it?

Dude you want a fucking 1080 when your shit isn't graphically intensive? What the fuck?
