Looking at the concept of using a second cheap #GPU (like a 1030) to run a #VirtualReality compositor, and nothing else, to free up the main GPU to just run the #VR application / #VideoGame itself. The idea seems sound, as it's just offloading a heavy process, but I wonder about the latency issues of sending the frames back to another GPU...

Has anyone tried this? What do y'all think?

Continued thread

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday
