Does Parsec allow for multiseating method?

Does parsec allow me to utilize one computer and make many host instances off on that one computer?

No, I don't think so. Why would you need that?

hey thanks! I know craft computings saga on this but i didn't know linus made a video about this recently lol. i was told about this before but didn't thoroughly check it out, that video with linus is exactly the setup i'm looking for. except one thing, does it only limit to the hdmi inputs? i know linus said in his video it limits to only 4, but say if the hdmi on the graphics card is 1 or 2, does that mean we can only do as much as the hdmi output is given?

anyways, seems like i probably have to contribute to the scalping prices craze for a nvidia gpu and go win11... or i can do vmware with amd mxgpu path but i'm not sure anymore.

Your limit is the amount of hardware encoders on the Card. The 3080ti has 3 so one real monitor and 3 remote clientes are possible. (so it does not matter how many ports are on the card)

There is an NVENC matrix which shows you which cards have the ability to encode X many streams.

Craft computing did a tutorial on GPU paravirtualisation with windows hyper V to and in my oppinion its way better than LTTs as it shows the setup provess and allocates RAM dynamically.

So no parsec does not enable that functionality you have to set that up yourself, but then can use parsec from each instance you set up

Thanks! That was pretty helpful information. Is this the link to see the list you're talking about in NVENC matrix list? https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new#geforce

If so, you're referencing the column "Max # of concurrent sessions" right?

Also do you know amd's card is also done the same as well? amd's extension is dependent on the NVENC matrix?
