You see how many instances of a game you could run

I wonder if the dl385 will take a vega or something? you know what just to satisfy this thread, if my rome comes on Tuesday which it should by all accounts then ill open it up and see if I can get a gpu in there. If I can ill try and find some storage and install windows 10 on it or something and see if it can game.
also @Quartz they are like rocking horse ****, not readily available to consumers until apparently the 28th of this month. Even then we are likely to have 4 month lead times is what I hear. I did somehow manage to buy 3 servers which should have been here friday but got caught in customs. I have no idea what is going on at this point. They should turn up Tuesday i'm told, they better turn up soon as they cost too much money for me not to play before I go to the vegas and a little trip around the west coast the week after next.

We need a EPYC DL580 with the PCIE expansion board. That would take maybe 8 graphics cards. Bring a whole new meaning to console gaming.
tbh i think gaming is very much wasted on epyc. It's so good at everything else it will probably suck at gaming

I think it might run games pretty well.
You know you want to. Slap in a gaming GPU and let us know how it goes.

As long as the cores are allowed to boost I don't see why a Rome couldn't game, it is still Zen 2 cores after all. They won't clock as fast as a desktop Ryzen, but it's still a Zen 2 core.
Any updates?
The server is in the office... Only I've been thousands of miles away exploring the west coast of the USA. Back in the office on the 13th.

Exploring the west coast of the USA, or in the office testing CPU's?
I'd have got that holiday cancelled right away for the priorities!

You can do 8 times as much

There was a time I'd have loved having so many cores, I'd have snapped someone's arm off for a 32 core + SMT CPU even a few years back. but these days I don't really dabble with server like tasks from home, no longer running tons of VMs, my game compile tools and video encoding I'm happy enough to offload to a second machine and forget about until done.
