One thing to note when using a dGPU and iGPU setup is that when running a browser with hardware acceleration enabled, switching a window between monitors running on different GPUs will cause the window to lock up, you will need to use WinKey + arrow key to move the window back. I use a dGPU/iGPU setup and had this happen with Firefox until I disabled hardware acceleration. Not sure what other situations can cause similar issues with a dGPU/iGPU setup.

Check the bios, there should be an option to ignore the auto iGPU disable.

There's usually an option in the bios that is disabled by default that enables multi monitor with the iGPU and a dGPU. All you would need to do is turn it on and you can run as many displays off the iGPU as you have connectors for or that the iGPU can support.

I like the idea of this but it still has to come a long way untill it starts being usefull. I would definitely like something like hearing echo location or enhanced vision and such but I dont want to end up charging my self each night before sleep lol.

"Biohackers". I feel like we could not find a more pretentious word to call this stuff. 
 
It's almost as bad as adding -gate at the end of any scandal or bad press.

That just looks and sound horribly painful..... Would never do this. Blech

whoa that looks horrible. I guess its the future but I don't like how it looks. 

Ouch.

Interesting article that I thought I would share. Biohackers are starting to implant things such as magnets, computers and other devices into themselves.  The first being a magnetic sensor dubbed Northstar:
"Northstar, a subdermal LED sensor that lights up when it’s in the vicinity of a magnet. "
 
Seems quite simple and maybe even a bit useless at first but this device could come in a lot of help with a little tweaking, such device could be used to track the movement of an individual and help them retrace if they got lost. Add a BTLE device and you could easily turn this into a type of fashion device allowing you to display interesting patters from the hand. Okay I admit, that might be a little weird but most new inventions seem weird at first. 
 
Next up is a bit of an older project, Neil Harbisson a male with an implanted camera that helps correct color blindness
"A camera at the far end of the device records whatever he is seeing and converts the image color data into a series of sound waves, which he has memorized. Instead of seeing various hues, he “hears” them with the help of a camera he calls Eyeborg." 
Interesting concept but this device could also be very useful, say helping a blind person more easily navigate by playing small sounds to indicate how far things are away or maybe even with the addition of a thermal reading device they could have something to help them not touch extreamly hot items and get burned.
 
Third Is a device that allows a man to hear echolocation. The device, a magnet, is not even electronic which is a plus in my opinion. 
"On both of his ears are tiny magnets that Lee uses to listen to music without earbuds (here’s how) and sense objects in his vicinity" 
This implant seems very cool to me, I can't think of how many times I have forgotten my earphones, including right now.
 
Next a device that almost looks like a biohackers implanted a cellphone into their arm. I found the picture quite gruesome myself so viewer discretion is advised. 
"bulky biometric computer that’s capable of transmitting body temperature and pulse data wirelessly. "
The concept is quite sound in fact smart watches have been working to achieve the same thing, however in a MUCH smaller package. If this device were minimized to a device that didn't look like a phone popping out of your skin, I could see a lot of use for it. With a few tweaks you could have it monitoring blood sugar which could help many people facing diabetes.
 
Lastly the article mentions the future of such devices with tattoo like implants being more of an adoptable means of these sensors and implants and I would agree, something that doesn't scream hey look I have some technology in me would go over much easier in society. 
 
Those are my opinions your mileage may and will vary, let me know what you think in the comments below, are these people crazy or innovative or even both. Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say.

I know it's all in rather experimental early phases, but it looks horrid and impractical
Not to mention in future certain corporation having control over your body and all. Would be good if some practical use implants can be detached or something, though it will all probably go Deus Ex way in time heh.

Let me know when I can have an internal music player, so I can drown out anyone at any time.

Imagine them walking next to an MRI and the lights get violently ripped out of their hands.

Well thats the thing, they are single slot GPUs so you could essentially install 7 of them in a computer without riser cards or PCIE extender cable. These are insane regardless 

That is such a 90s name for something.

When you consider a little chip can product more heat than a soldering iron.......and a high-end gaming system can draw more power than a microwave oven.

well, there are HDMIs with lock in:

R.O.G.

For people that saying this is a rip off:
 
1. Pumps actually suck up a lot more watts than fans. Normally normal fan headers aren't suitable for that kind of constant amp draw.
2. They spin slower than fans. A lot slower. So when you plug a pump into fan header, it tries to run it at full speed all the time (or at least on PWM Asus boards).
 
There is a reason why most pumps come with a Molex connector (or atleast on the side). So can you run your pump off a fan header? Yes. Should you do it? I don't think so.

Holy crap, another Model M fan!  It's said that Model Ms don't die, but every so often one of them ventures off to Valhalla to join the pantheon of keyboards.  That generally only happens after it's been used to smash through concrete.
 
All these "mechanical keyboard" fans amuse me.  Bucking spring keyboards are the only way to go, IMHO.  And no one does them like IBM.
 
Anyway, I had a pile of original IBM Ms (with the 6-pin PS/2 connector) but I got rid of them a while ago.  I got tired of the crappy PS/2-to-USB adapters that were available at the time, and I also needed a Windows (or Mac "Command") key.  Fortunately Unicomp makes an exact replica of the M (from the original plans), but includes more keys and native USB.  I use them on my Macs and on my gaming rig.  I'll use nothing else.

LOL, Model Ms don't die. They linger in the background eternally for spare parts. 

THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS GOOD THEY REALLY NEED SORTING OUT FOR PEOPLES SAFETY THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS THEY ARE NOT HOVERBOARDS I LIKE TURTLES

My keyboard is a 1991 IBM Model M keyboard with the classic buckling spring switches. Weighing in at 3 pounds it's not a light keyboard and I am fairly sure that it could go through just about anything. I custom painted the key caps to make it a little more modern, and back lit the keys with RGB LED Lighting. Future plans for it include converting it over to USB, adding a USB Hub to be able to plug flash drives into it and writing a simple script in processing to be able to change the keyboard color based on what program I am using or based on system resource usage, as well as be able to control the lights through a program on the computer. Check it out below:
 

Yeh
A 680 is basically a 770, and for $100 that deal cant be beat.
