Re: Upgrade 2nd PC

You could try using the Intel iGPU & Nvidia card at the same time.
Enable iGPU in the BIOS.
1 monitor on iGPU, 1 on GT 730.
If that works, then a third monitor might be possible!
Alternative is to get a GPU that has 3 outputs.

Re: Upgrade 2nd PC

Thanks for the advice desertfish. It’s helped me think about what I really need. I rarely use more than a few percent of the potential of my 3900X system. My 2nd PC is actually better than I thought – upgraditis got me! Plus comparing it to my main system – Ryzen 9 3900X. C16 emulator runs fine – it...

Me starting out with scrolling tiles

<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;"> 8×8 tiles need more memory for the tile base than 16×16 tiles. <p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;"> Using vertical and horizontal flipping and palette offset 8×8 can be more memory efficient. <p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;"> T...

Upgrade monitor

<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;"> Now I’m trying to decide between two 27” Asus ProArt monitors. <p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;"> PA279CV 4K and PA278QV 1440P. <p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;"> 1440P has a slightly higher refresh rate (75 vs 60 Hz). (60 sho...
