me: has coso up on an entire monitor whilst gaming
also me: pulls up coso on phone out of habit
the magic of no algorithms - no ads - and a great community <3
i only have the two, man. i usually am doing something else on the other monitor. hahaha
@evistre Two is a good number to have, that's what I'm using and really it's all I need. I don't have a lot of monitoring to do but being able to game and work at the same time is a blessing.
@Tail it's real nice. i like watching youtube/nebula on one and gaming or coso on the other.
I don't like multiple monitors because I don't like turning my head. Tried stacking them, but then I was always tilting my head back.
Maybe I'd get used to it, but I really prefer one monitor, in just the right spot that I can take everything in by moving my eyes without moving my head.
I'm a weirdo.
i always have mine snugly up together, so i don't end up turning my head much.
i also have a primary and a secondary monitor most of the time. which one is primary depends on the task. right now my primary is my right (where coso is) because i'm not that invested in my game right now. but earlier it was the left one. lol
before getting a dual display setup, i was super persnickety about having everything just so - and never maximized. NEVER maximized. lol - i would like manually tile my screen with everything in view.
@Tail @evistre Oh hell yeah! The way I havemy desk set up its works 2 x 27" monitors then the living room 55" TV in one sweep of the eyes.
Although I do need another smaller one for work around 8-10".
And I was thinking of upgrading the main 2 to ultra wide curved and then putting the 2 flat at the end of the eye sweep to provide a band of monitors
Some times I'm glad I went overkill on the specs for my PC 😂
@soapietrekkers I went big on my last PC build when I had 980TIs SLI'd up in a liquid cooled build, had four monitors going and really I didn't need nearly that many. Was cool af though. Always love a good overkill PC build.
@Tail I'm on the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super. at the moment.
Not the greatest graphics card, but fitted my design specs. At the time of the build.
Thinking of liquid cooling for the next upgrade.
I like overkill on my machines, you may never need it. But it is always handy to have something in reserve just in case you do.
@soapietrekkers I'm just using a laptop with a 1070 in it and it largely slays anything I throw at it, VR included.
Before the pandemic I was prepping a new build, was looking forward to a new custom loop with hard tubing. It's a really really expensive habit to have though.
@Tail That it is lol
My ex use to hate what I'd do to machines to improve performance without spending cash. God knows what she'd think of this build or my future plans 🤣 🤣 🤣
@soapietrekkers Man I used to love undervolting and overclocking so much, it's a lot of fun. Some people just don't get it and I feel bad for them.
@Tail Yup! There is a definite art to tweaking a system for the best performance for any given task.
@soapietrekkers And it's FUN.
lmao, the laptop I have now, as soon as I got it I'm like "Better make sure I secure this thing" so naturally I put a password on the BIOS. IMMEDIATELY forgot it. Now I'm permanently locked out of it. CMOS reset didn't work, I'd have to RMA it to MSI to get it fixed. F that.
