3 VR Gamers, 1 CPU - ULTIMATE VR SETUP!

The video opens with a quick overview of a triple‑headed VR gaming setup that runs off a single Intel Core i9 7960X processor, 64 GB of G‑Skill Trident DDR4 memory, and a mix of NVIDIA GPUs ranging from GTX 1070 to Titan XP. Linus explains how the system is built around an ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe motherboard, with unRAID virtualization to run three independent VMs that each host a VR headset and its own set of peripherals. The build is designed to keep CPU utilization between 70‑90 % and to provide hot‑pluggable USB devices for the Vive controllers, while a 4‑port KVM switch allows a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse to switch between the VMs. In the second half, the video walks through the configuration steps in unRAID’s web UI, assigning an SSD cache, setting up the VMs, and passing through the graphics cards and USB controllers. Linus also covers a BIOS tweak that turns the primary GPU into a virtual graphics card for the motherboard, enabling all three VMs to deliver smooth VR gameplay simultaneously. The video concludes with a thank‑you to Intel and the community forum, and a call to action for viewers to like, subscribe, and check the links for parts.

Viewers praise the thoroughness of the build and the clarity of the walkthrough. Many comments highlight the usefulness of the single‑CPU, triple‑VM approach and the hot‑pluggable USB solution. Some users note the potential for future upgrades, such as Threadripper or additional lighthouses, and appreciate the visual appeal of the case setup. Overall sentiment is positive, with a high like count and several replies confirming the build’s effectiveness.
