I have a Ryzen 5900x and a RTX 3070 8 Gb. Do you think this is potent enough to split virtually split it in two where there is one system running two instances of Windows? I’d use it for light gaming like Minecraft with shaders and some CoOps.

    Yeah, that system should be more than powerful enough to manage two VMs. The biggest limiter will probably be the 8GB of VRAM; a lot of modern games require 6GB, so you’d have to avoid those. Be prepared for performance to be worse than half your normal framerates, though, there’s some overhead involved in running virtual machines.

    You can, but it can affect the FPS.

    The hell happened to this ? Looks like someone got a giant pair of child scissors 🤣🤣🤣

    You cut any PC or laptop in half, it will fix all problems permanently. Also…. it shall not ever start again. Not starting again is now a feature.

    You May only have half of the performance, but Sure why not.

    On the real I miss this style of keyboard for laptops.

    Might want to use a straight edge next time

    With a nvidia gpu? No, nvidia explicitly locks out this function for only their professional/server cards.

    Pretty sure that’s the same laptop I first played Old School Runescape on back in 2006

    Well, judging by the laptop, you seem capable. Might need a bigger blade though.

    As a Dungeon Master for Dungeons and Dragons, I tend to say “You most certainly can try”

  12. Theholysmackdown

    Of course, How else are you supposed to hack two different mainframes at the same time?

  13. Emberson-

    Did you use those arts and crafts scissors from school 😂

  14. dream_nobody

    Don’t forget to turn virtualization on

    Don’t show split keyboard users this

  16. nolongermakingtime

    You can cut anything in half if you’re brave enough

  17. Savings-Horror-8395

    I really don’t think that would work unless you add another power button

  18. ExtraTNT

    It‘s a thinkpad, so it probably still works…

  19. APaleBlueDot7

    Bro took “splitscreen gaming” literally…

    Surely you can play “It Takes Two” on your own now.

  20. Loose-Sherbert8464

    NOOOO NOT THE IBM THINKPAD I’VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THOSE

  21. Yeah, you can, you I’ll have 2 in stead, that’s an stingy hack for it.

  22. It looks water damaged.

    *I’m surprised no one made this pun yet.*

  23. Reddit_fantic

    Yeah you can look up easy GPU p from craft computing on YouTube should be decent enough tutorials I’ll warn you though any game with invasive anti cheat won’t work.

  24. MagicalEarthlin

    This is like it came right from a horror movie. This is just absolutely absurd. Why would someone do this to a poor old laptop? You could have installed Linux or ChromeOS Flex on it but you decided to turn it into two jigsaws pieces.

    What had Reddit become?

    This is some r/hardwaregore shit.
