Finally got a job and invested some money into my setup

[hardy fjord]

All that's left is to upgrade my cpu/gpu

Also planning on trying a LCD side panel mod

[chilly gull]

Specs rn?

[gleaming rune]

Clean. Is that your empty wallet to prove u invested in the PC? 😂

[jovial pagoda]

why are the monitors seperate 😭

[torpid osprey]

why does the aio screen say die

[cunning jacinth]

i did a sepreta monitor setup once. It worked for me.

[sleek flare]

I just bought one last week, they need to be connected via usb c and wont work without a software and windows start up which annoyed me

[pearl pasture]

clean!
spec?

[hardy fjord]

i7 9700k and rtx2070

wait let me see if I find the full spec sheet

[hardy fjord]

I prefer it this way

[hardy fjord]

I played sekiro recently and everytime u died it showed the kanji
I put it on my AIO to remind me of my failures

[torpid osprey]

some people would refer to kanji as chinese but alright

[hardy fjord]

I don't understand ?

what are you trying to tell me :D

[torpid osprey]

im trying to say kanji is chinese

[hardy fjord]

oh okay
in this case it's the japanase kanji for "death/die" afaik
not an expert in this

[torpid osprey]

kanji means chinese lol

simply means chinese characters

[hardy fjord]

oh okay?

[hardy fjord]

what really?
I was planning on doing the transparent LCD mod where you literally connect it to your gpu and gut an LCD screen
Here is a video

Ohh nvm i was talking about a diff lcd where it display and monitor pc status, it works but uses the cpu rather than gpu, havent seen this before looks cool

[hardy fjord]

ahh I know what you mean, but I plan on displaying the stats with the transparent lcd

@sleek flare

[sleek flare]

I wander how much gpu power it will use, cause main reason i bought that lcd cause it uses cpu but usability sucked on it

[sleek flare]

This will look like a hologram display if no one touch it haha

[hardy fjord]

not much, it's like having a third screen

[sleek flare]

But u will use something like wallpaper engine saw some wallpaper taking 50% from a 3080 like that retro pink wallpaper

The included and some monitor one barely take 2-5% at most yeah

But unlike mine u can play doom on the side of ur pc

[hardy fjord]

it really depends
I personally didn't notice a performance hit from using wallpaper engine

you can configure it to your needs

[gleaming rune]

I never had performance hits, but it made certain games crash.
I didnt know what the issue was tho. I was updated bios and all possible drivers and software, uninstalls, fresh installs, all kinda different settings in Nvidia panel,.. I was checking forum posts until google page 5 (imagine..). Nothing worked...
Untill one day wallpaper engine wasn't running and I had no issues whatsoever. Then I made the link and tested it yes: it gave crashes and weird bugs (mostly weird tearing). I never used it since.
So yea: it looks nice, doesnt really have a big performance hit. But if you ever encounter weird (mostly graphical issues) in games: turn WE off and try again

[hardy fjord]

I had no issues like that ever.
Usually when I have weird crashes or graphical issues it's windows needing a reinstall lol

[torpid osprey]

wallpaper engine taking 30% of my 4080

to be fair its running 3 screens

[gleaming rune]

What kind of wallpapers are u using man 😂

It used like 2% on my 3080 back in the day

Also 3 monitors, 1 of them ultrawide
