I have a workstation I use for video editing/vfx as well as gaming. Because of my work, I'm fortunate to have the latest high end GPUs and a 160" projector screen. I also have a few TVs in various rooms around the house.
Traditionally, if I want to watch something or play a video game, I have to go to the room with the jellyfin/plex/roku box to watch something and am limited to the work/gaming rig to play games. I can't run renders and game at the same time. Buying an entire new pc so I can do both is a massive waste of money. If I want to do a test screening of a video I'm working on to see how it displays on various devices, I have to transfer the file around to these devices. This is limiting and inefficient to me.
I want to be able to go to any screen in my house: my living room TV, my large projector in my studio room, my tablet, or even my phone and switch between:
What you're describing is mostly a networking issue. I'm also pretty suspect about your setup and wishes. You definitely don't work for a large VFX studio, and you're not using this as described for CAD work. I'm going to guess this entire setup is for your anime and incest rendering farm.
This is a ridiculous question for anyone with this amount of hardware in their home already that's using it on a daily basis to actually work. You would also not be "running renders" if this was hardware provided by a company you work for.
Whatever is being asked here is for a shady ass person. Don't help them.
That’s such a weird leap in logic to jump to. Are you okay?
I’m not the one making wild accusations about somebody wanting to selfhost a gpu server to edit…incest porn or whatever it is you’re on about.
No idea what lie you think I’m telling. 🤷♂️
… what?
Them: “I want a centralized place to handle all my graphics stuff, so I can access graphically intensive things from any device.”
You: “Must be incest renders because you already have hardware and say you use it for work.”
So according to you, contractors don’t exist, iPhones can play PC games, and anyone wanting to split PC resources between multiple use cases is shady.
What’s ridiculous is that you seem to think extreme paranoia is a normal thing in everyday life.
Wow. Where is all this hate coming from?
People like to experiment, and tinker, and try things in their home lab, that would scale up in a business. Just to prove they can do it. That's innovation. We should celebrate it. Not quash people
