With price of PC components getting more expensive I was thinking of experimenting with a multi-seat type setup on my gaming PC. From what I was reading though, multi-seat requires a dedicated GPU for each seat since the compositor is expected to have an exclusive lock on the card.
Does anyone know if you can do a mult-seat like setup with a single GPU? I have a amd 9070 xt so as far as I know the gpu virtualization thing where you split a single physical GPU into multiple virtual GPUs won’t work. I was thinking maybe its possible to have a weak secondary GPU just for display, but I don’t know if the second seat would be able to still access the more powerful gaming GPU for rendering.
You are probably looking for something like games on whales https://games-on-whales.github.io/. If you have an extra weak gpu or an integrated one besides your 9070xt, you can use that for the video transcoding and the big gpu for the game rendering
