I bought a screen card for a year, but I never used it because...

A netizen shared his experience that he had lost tens of thousands of dollars building a new computer about a year ago, but felt that its performance was not as strong as it should have been.

.

Although the computer has already installed a separate screen card, the game time like League of Legends has only about 60 FPS framerate, which is much lower than expected for the computer at this price level, but without much computer experience, it keeps using it without mentioning anything is wrong.

.

Until recently, a friend came by the house and checked the machine, and found that the HDMI cable from the screen had always been plugged into the HDMI port on the motherboard, rather than into the HDMI or DisplayPort slots on the split screen card at the bottom of the case.

.

And the separate card port also has a dustproof cork, showing that since the purchase of the device, it may not have been connected directly to the separate screen.

.

This problem is a common occurrence for novice users, because behind the computer there are usually two screen connections. The top port is near the USB channel and the LAN cable is the port on the motherboard, which is used to display through the iGPU.

.

The port next to it, which is usually arranged horizontally and on the panel of the screen, will be the more suitable box for the screen if the screen is installed, because it will fully restore the performance of the paid card.

.

However, plugging a screen cable into the motherboard does not mean that the split screen card will not work at all in any case, because some boards can set the split screen card to help process it, and then send the image out through the motherboard port, but performance can be reduced and depends on the settings of the machine, driver, and game body in use.

.

It's another classic lesson for computer players, who believe that many people have missed or at least seen this, because no matter how many generations have passed, the problem of plugging in the wrong screen continues to occur.

.

So anyone who has just assembled a new computer feels that the game is not as strong as the specification. Before going to check the settings or blame the device, remember to look at the back of the device if the screen cable has been plugged into the right card. Otherwise, expensive screen cards that cost money may be left unused at full capacity like the owner of this story.
