I'll definitely look into getting an emulator installed, it's funny you guys mentioned that. I've been wanting to get either an old gameboy or a N64/NES for Pokemon, Mario, etc. this way I can save some extra money.

@R.Caerbannog

I enjoyed Stardew a lot when I played it on the Xbox and I'll probably pick it up again sometime soon, its weird, at first I wasn't so much disappointed when I realized that I wouldn't be able to play the games I used too as I was trying to figure out what I'd be able to play. After digging around on Steam I was surprised to find how many my computer would be able to handle so its definitely changed how I look at games in terms of used to wanting nothing but AAA productions.

ETA: it even made me remember a lot of the computer games I grew up playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 being a prime example.

PUBG for Xbox is horrible after this latest patch/update.

FLASH FLASH FLASH

STEAM summer sale is in full effect. Get em while they are hot and cheap. Games too.

APB Reloaded is still fun as hell after all these years.

I'm no fan of consoles, but y'all are getting hosed. The small map is almost (already? I haven't played in a bit) available on PC and a new winter map due by the end of the year was announced at E3.

PC games have been leaving in droves lately, something like 50% less players in the past few months. PUBG needs to fix a lot, but I totally agree they are taking different entirely way too long to actually bring out a full game for xbox.

Been enjoying the last two expansions to Destiny 2, Curse of Osiris and Warmind.

Question -

I want to add a second monitor to my son's gaming PC.

Currently running HDMI
Graphics card only has 1 HDMI slot
Graphics card has 3 other slots that resemble HDMI (what are these for)
Graphics card does not have a VGA input

If I purchase an HDMI splitter can I run both monitors and extend them?

Here is a pic of back of card:

Looks like display port

Thanks I was finally able to Google that part. So if I add a monitor with an HDMI to Display port cable, should that do what I need?

 

[medicchick]

Short answer no on the splitter cable. RP will be along when we stop for a break I'm sure. He's done all sorts of dual monitor setups for decades...lol

Thanks for that. What I am planning right now is to run one monitor via HDMI and the 2nd via Display Port (with an HDMI to DisplayPort cable)

I've been playing a lot of Fortnite lately. Also playing Civ 6 and LOTR SOW.

Is this an old monitor? Most newer ones have a displayport port. Just go straight displayport without the conversion.

Go straight displayport. Lose all the HDMI. there is no reason to use it if you have displayport connections and modern monitors.

DisplayPort 1.4 vs HDMI 2.1

 

[Salt USMC]

Displayport is a far better output
