unRAID for gaming

[Harraja]

I was browsing YouTube today when I came across this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LuJYMCbIbPk I was wondering if anyone has tried to run 2 gamers off 1 CPU and is unRAID stable for this use. Thanks in advance.

OK...I'm not watching a 20 minute youtube video to determine what they are doing.
A synopsis, please?

unRAID 6 is very stable. I've moved back to unRAID from a Windows server since they released 6 because quite frankly it's superb. I used to run version 5 but I'm a Linux novice and couldn't get out of it what I wanted. However since version 6 it's so much more user friendly. I currently run unRAID with a Plex and BTSync docker with a Windows 8.1 Pro virtual machine. The server has not had an issue since I set it up and I haven't even needed to reboot it, to give you an idea of stability. I'm currently @ 81 days, 8 hours, 35 minutes without a reboot and the last time I reboot was to upgrade to the latest stable release.

The linus tech tips video above will give you an idea but the unRAID forum is your best bet. You will need to research hardware before undertaking this, it's possible but not easy! See here for inspiration:

Okay, I will try my best, Linus tech tips uses unRAID 6 to run 2 copies of Windows 10 off of one x99 (5960x) CPU, a GTX 980ti and a GTX Titian using virtual machines, with the OSes each getting one graphics card and 8 threads(4 physical and 4 hyperthreaded) What I want to know is it stable enough to do this?
