Tried converting a story from TIFU to greentext because I'm bored at work.

I saved a Gimp Template while working on it: https://files.catbox.moe/ipnjzk.xcf

Me plugging my monitor into my mobo instead of my graphics card for three years. I thought I had just gotten reeeeally unlucky in the silicon lottery.

Or getting a high refresh rate monitor and not changing the refresh rate in your os.

Afaik fullscreen should bypass that one.

Last time I did that I just didn't get any output to the monitor, isn't that how it's supposed to work?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

If your cpu doesn't have integrated graphics yeah.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Hmmm, maybe that's what happened, but I'm pretty sure I was getting output without the GPU plugged in, but that was a long time ago

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

In my computer once I installed my graphics card the integrated gpu was disabled, but there was a BIOS setting to keep both enabled

Oh that would make sense!

Massively depends on the system.

if you get a F series CPU with no igpu then you will likely get no output.

one time i was testing something with the monitor in the motherboard, which worked fine, and then i put the gpu in the motherboard but forgot to plug the monitor in the gpu, and it showed a black screen.

there might be systems where you can plug both a gpu and the igpu into the monitor and it'll use one for most things and the other for games and stuff (i dont remember what that is called), but i have only ever seen that in laptops so idk
