    PCSPECIALIST PC for WFH (academic simulations) and light gaming

    I'm running ubuntu, so I'm referring to the x display server, sorry that I didn't specify earlier. This was very helpful, and I think I need to go back and check on the setup that I have everything done correctly. What I do know is that on my laptop things now work smoothly, and I interpreted...

    I'd like to upgrade from my current laptop to a desktop PC, and have a few requirements: Required: NVidia GPU Budget <£1100 Desirable: Balance spend on GPU and CPU (both are important to me) iGPU as well (to run display from iGPU and CUDA on dGPU) I liked the look of the 1050 Ti but it's out...
