Couple of Questions, if anyhow might be kind enough to chime in. With the Vision-D and a 10900K I am looking to get a 10GbE card. The youtuber margonaut recommended the Asus XG-C100C. Not sure if someone could recommend a different/better option?
Another question is more of a thought. While I run MacOS 99% of the time, with this new system I definitely have the resources to run ESXi (unlocked) and possibly split the system into a MacOS / Windows machine. My thought was to install 2 GPU's, passing through an AMD card to MacOS and an Nvidia card to the Windows VM. Not sure if this would make things easier than having to install Open Core? Is there a huge performance hit to MacOS in ESXi? Would things like ThunderBolt 3 be able to be passed through? I was thinking about having a dual monitor setup and use synergy to pass the keyboard and mouse across the VM's on each monitor. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/input into this scenario doing this with the Vision-D and a 10900K?
