I realize this isn’t the point of the post but this weirds me out that this is what displays truly are. I understand it at a technical level but its weird that these things that can express almost any image is just a big array of red blue and green.
When you are playing a game if it is at all demanding you first want to go into settings and try to keep stuff on the low end. In general you can keep texture quality high/max and can keep antialising at the higher setting but always turn down any shadow quality and volumetric fog effect down very low. Other settings usually medium or low. Next for most games if you are not playing plugged in you are problably gonna want to limit your fps. Don’t expect to play every game at 60fps. Depending on the title and how hard it is to run limit your fps in settings to 30-50fps.
It depends. Are you just going to play steam games? Then yeah its increadibly easy, it works like a console in that regard. If you want to emulate stuff or play non-steam games it gets more complicated but nothing you can’t follow in a guide.
