Run Desktop Through Laptop - Impossible?

[Reft]

This is a weird question. 

 

Is it possible to use the graphics card, cpu, motherboard, etc.. of a tower, and output to a laptop monitor without latency. The goal being, to use only the monitor and keyboard of the laptop. 

 

The only solutions I have found involve casting or RDP, which cause horrible latency when gaming on a laptop. OOTB laptops only seem to come with output HTMI, so that doesn't seem to be an option. I could probably solve the keyboard issue by disconnecting the keyboard from a laptop's motherboard, extending the cable, and connecting it to the tower (this is only my theory, and may very well be wrong). 

 

I am only partially tech-literate, so if any of the above doesn't make sense, I would love to be corrected. Any solution or viable theories win you a 'golden internet award' (redeamable nowhere and worth nothing but my loving adoration).

If you wanted to disassemble the laptop, you could probably find some wierd adapter cables for the monitor and keyboard ribbons. Otherwise it's most likely a no.

Check out Parsec for game streaming, if you havn't though.

@Denned I tried looking for adapter's along those lines, but couldn't find anything that would work. Especially something that could run 5-10ft across the room without being a hazard. 

 

@NZgamer That's not a bad idea! This is about to tread into the realm of, "I don't know what I'm talking about". So essentially, use the capture card to HDMI out from the desktop, then USB to the laptop? Would the latency be acceptable for gaming? The Elgato HD60 looks fine? For reasons unspecified, I need this to work, so I have a solid budget, ESPECIALLY if it's a piece of hardware that is reasonably future proof.

capture card will do 60FPS flat. don't expect any gamery high framerate, zero latency.

@SupaKomputa Well that kills that idea. Laptop is 1080 144hz. I'm not seeing any capture cards that capture at anything higher online too. Bummer. Any similar alternatives you may know of? 

 

Edit: Ooh, scratch that. AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra. That may work? I'm not sure. Touts 1080p at 120. 

 

That would handle the monitor, but how about getting the laptop's keyboard to work? 

[SupaKomputa]

That's why monitors need Hdmi 2.0, Dp cable, Dual Link DVI to projects those frame rate.

Anyway, with that in mind, you can just capture it in 60 FPS, why need more?

Buy a monitor.

@SupaKomputa Using a monitor other than the laptop is unfortunately an option I don't have, for reason's I'm not allowed to get into. Wouldn't the AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra work for 1080 at 120fps, as long as the laptop was 1080 144hz? 

 

The problem with the capture card though, would be using the laptop keyboard. Is the only option for this, extending the ribbon? If that's the case, couldn't I just do that for the laptop monitor as well? 

[SupaKomputa]

Extending the ribbon? Looks like you dont know what youre talking about. Go ahead.

 

But i seriously recommend you go to a recycling centre and ask for a keyboard instead.
