i have LG 5k thunderbolt (usbc) displays. i would like to buy a small form factor pc with 32-64gb of ram that can drive them at 5k. please advise.
@MischievousTomato pc means intel/amd. i already have an m1 max macbook pro on order (64gb/8tb/max/max/max natch) but i need an x64 machine that can run linux.
also, nice
@MischievousTomato i would prefer a computer computer rather than a laptop, i already have plenty of displays and it isnt' going to go anywhere
you could build a pc, i suggest waiting for alder lake
@MischievousTomato i think i'll steal the gpu from my windows/gaming box (128gb ram, i9 extreme 10c) and resume using it as a workstation and put the 3090 in a lower end box just for running the VR headset
@MischievousTomato i got an hp omen 64gb gaming box with 3070. i'll put the 3090 in that and that will be the dedicated VR/vidya machine, and the 128gb machine with the 3070 from that box will become a Real Work computer.
mustve been expensive
@MischievousTomato only $2500, the 128gb box was quite costly when i built it.
@MischievousTomato i think the 3090 alone was close to three grand? i don't remember. it was at the last big cryptocurrency runup and they were going for 2x msrp. :/
it at least runs the vive pro 2 nicely at 90fps
that's expensive
fuck shortages
