Like i have everything excluding the cpu and memory, which are always managed by the virtualisation layer, passed thru. Its only the stuff that gets virtualised that can get some percentage loss.īut a lot is up to you. All the stuff you passthru has zero noticeable performance los. Its super minimum footprint so all resources are left for the VM itself. One of the reasons is that unlike things like vmware fusion and parralels, which run on a full blown os that takes a lot of resources itself, these things run on a layer that (for example with unraid or proxmox etc) boot from a usb stick, get loaded in mem and run from there.

There have been several tests done and if done proper, you will loose a few % (single digit) up to unnoticeable performance compared to native. Also ignore the irritating background music. I got most of my info from him (its unraid, but gives you an idea of the process and what sort of stuff is involved). There is no limit other then your budget.Ĭheck out spaceinvaders youtube channel.

Heck you can even run osx on the latest ryzens if you want to this way. Hackintosh wise impossible, vm easy peasy. I use a proper dual socket supermicro board with dual 12core xeons. The stuff you pass thru does require proper osx support as is not virtualised. With VM it can run almost in anything as long as the motherboard support proper iommu groups, vt-d etc. With native hackintosh you have to carefully pick and choose and tweak to get your stuff up. It helps if you have hackintosh experience as its is very similar in nature, only with vm you have no cpu/motherboard type limitations as is virtualised. There are whole forums and redits dedicated to that.

You can take base linux and put qemu/virtio on there. I chose unraid as its the easiest and i was using it for other stuff (like core nas duties) but as it does dockers and vm like a mofo, i started playing with that and never looked back.īut you dont need unraid. The solutions give you virtualy native performance from these devices and as a whole of your assigned resources. Thats kid stuf and wont work for what you need.Īs mentioned in other posts you need proper hardware / pcie bus passthrough support as you will need a GPU with full acceleration to be able to run Resolve. Unless you run a full hypervisor, but nothing like fusion or parallels etc. Vmware is not the right choise if you want to run Resolve.
