    The second monitor is wide, really wide. 7680 pixels long. 3x Ultrawide. ha!

    When I made this thread, I was thinking about monitor configuration within linux and how it's like ten times easier in linux. Configure your monitor setup, save config file, and move on with your life. Actually, I could use some advice on using Intel and Nvidia drivers together in Linux. I couldn't get it to work with multiple monitors. ^The same exact setup but in Linux. You're using Intel HD Graphics and Nvidia drivers together to display multiple monitors within Linux? How many monitors are you using? Which Window Manager are you using? What drivers are you using for Nvidia and Intel? Thank you!

    Default Ubuntu (Pop Os, but shouldn't matter) with Gnome.

    Everything worked outta the box, I didn't have to do anything.

     

    I plugged one monitor into the motherboard, and the other two into my gpu.

    Not even a fancy computer, a Hp ProDesk with a GT 710.

     

    Did not have to do any configuring what so ever outside of the placement that I wanted.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    1 Intel - Right

    2 NVIDIA - Left/Middle

  2. Not sure if this is relevant or will help, but,

    One thing I have noticed, (On Linux, but probably true on Windows)

    I could not place a Monitor of another GPU in between two other monitors of another GPU.

    Example of Invalid Scenario for my triple monitor system, Nvidia, Intel, Nvidia

     

    (Also Linux monitor placement is soo much easier, thier must be a config for windows somewhere?)

    The NVIDIA Panel in Linux supports both Nvidia Monitors and Intel Monitors, I was able to fine tune via that. Is that not an option in the Windows Version?

    i think you can

    It depends on the motherboard.

     

    However anecdotally, my pre-built computer does support using the onboard GPU at the same time as my dedicated GPU.

     

    If you have the GPU with you, you can try it. 

  4. HDMI 2.0 @ 4k60 ~18gbps 10 Meters 4k, 30 Meters 1080p

    Ethernet Cat5e ~1gbps  100 Meters

    Ethernet Cat 7 ~10gbps 55 Meters

     

    You will run into Frame Rate & Resolution Issues. 

    Along with Latency with the conversion, compression and decompression, Etc.

    Possible, Yes, Practical, Meh

    Okay. I see. 

     

    Another thing is lets say that my desktop's power supply is 450Watt, but I am pretty sure that during normal usage it is about 300+ watt, so I need to go with 450 Watt anyway just to be safe? 

    Not Necessarily, but after accounting, the monitor's and laptop, yea, Plus a little but of buffer is always good,

    Could you recommend a brand for me? I am not sure which is good... 

    Also did you experience this kind of issue before and a UPS solved your problem? 

    I have not, my power is fairly stable. 

    CyberPower and APC are two good brands I have used.

    Worst case, you return it if problem isn't solved, but a UPS is always good to have anyway.

    Can I connect my laptop's power supply to it too??? That monitor fried my laptop's mobo a few months ago... 

     

    then how do I calculate the wattage I need? 

    Monitor watt+desktop watt + wifi router watt + laptop watt? 

    Yes?  for the 1st one, Yes for the second.

     

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RCNX8K/ref=twister_B00EU2ZXCO?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

     

    For example this lineup goes from 420W to 820Watts, Just pick what ya need. I would go Max Desktop Wattage too, not idle. 

     


    I think under MAX load it's 10-15 Minutes. Idle probbly closer to an hour ithink. 

  8. Just now, mrchow19910319 said:

    huh? can I do that?? can I connect my monitor and desktop and wifi router to one single UPS? 

    Depends on the UPS, but most likely yes.

    I have two, well my Router is on the other side of the house.

     

    Two things to look for, max Wattage of the UPS. and how long it will last at your idle use and full power use, if your using it just to for power stability, just make sure it has enough wattage.

    I always thought if it was so great then why does Linus use 2 mice and 2 keyboards on the WAN Show, that was enough for me not to bother trying it. Especially since there is NO TRIAL version, I'm hesitant to pay for software that promises what amounts to magic voodoo but doesn't prove it works with a Trial version.

    Synergy is free technically, only the complied version is paid,  if you download and compile yourself then it's free.

    Why would they use virtualization? For what purpose?

    a 7 gamers 1 (2*) cpu sort of setup, but instead of it being 7 gamers, 7 editors.

     

    I would guess there's to many bugs for their setup atm.  

     

     

    My old HS's plan, next upgrade cycle is to go to centralized server for the engineering computers with thin clients.

    The library computers are already using this.  

     

    Plus Intel sponsored, (assuming their sponsorship allowed for it) they could have gone all out , and have produced and multi episode series on this @LinusTech

     

     

    Edit:

    saw @nicklmg's comment

    Spoiler

    This was directly answered in the video by referencing this video.

     Maybe Next Gen Cpu's with higher clocks will be more efficient? (Or more realistic next upgrade cycle 5 years from now?)

     

    I would be interested to see if using more lower core count higher clocked, in a multi socket board, instead of just 1 ballin cpu, would be a better solution.

     

    so essentially 4 of these https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/xeon/e7-processors/e7-8893-v2.html

    vs 1 of these https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/xeon/e7-processors/e7-8890-v4.html

    or somethings in between.
