does an egpu accelerate the screen of the laptop/desktop in a target display mode over thunderbolt 3 or does it only accelerate external monitors connected directly to the gpu through hdmi or displayport or w/e?

either way it's a neat technology, but it'd be cool as gently caress to smash together a 5k imac with a huge gpu and have a poor man's imac pro

on Windows laptops the egpu will help the built in display with some performance loss compared to an external but OSX doesn't support it at all

it's not too unusual; the real fuckery are all the 4kp60 that it turns out don't support hdr or hdmi 2.0a

i wonder how many people out there have hdmi switches and never realize they don't have hdr on

I'm trying to find an hdmi switch that supports hdr and can understand/pass cec signals and as far as I can tell it would be easier to find an actual unicorn

Would this require the fabrication of apple logo-shaped senors or just the glass with a (square? rectangular? not an EE) sensor behind it?

you pretty much need a surround sound receiver for that, its hosed that there are only like 6 companies that can make a box that supports hdr 4K or Dolby atmos/dts x

no I'm forever doomed since like half the speakers I'm looking at are 4 ohms so there's barely any $1500+ receivers that can handle that

in the one where you're primarily dealing with static documents and/or broadcast video

if you don't need sick2nasty 360 noscope headshots it's basically functional for real work

i'm not trying to defend it, they're doing that because it's stupid expensive to get something that does 60hz 4k in full RGB colour. for the average use case it's not going to matter if it's not 60hz
