Need Help Regarding Dual Monitor
Have this laptop - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B073TWQNQ4/ref...
Specification in short:
Dell Vostro 3568 -15.6-inch Laptop 7th Gen Core i5-7200/8GB/500GB SSD/Win 10 Home/2GB Graphics AMD
Planning to get a 22/24 inch monitor to connect with this laptop, will doing this put extra pressure on the GPU/CPU?
Is this a good idea to get 1 more monitor with this spec laptop or should i drop this idea?
Some Extra info -
if i open firefox (6-10 tabs) & open edge GPU temp rise to 60+
if i watch online videos temp rise to 60+ but normal when watch downloaded videos
- Sort By
Your laptop screen resolution is 720p while the external monitor you will connect is most likely going to be 1080p so there will be some extra "load" but nothing much. Your laptop specs are more than enough to easily drive an external 1080p external monitor. When opening multiple tabs in browsers, open task manager & see how much is the processor usage because that will contribute more to temperature rise. Youtube now has many videos encoded in newer video codec which can't be natively decoded by the graphics card in your laptop so processor is used which is always less efficient than graphics card in such tasks hence more usage & temps.
Main objective is to share approx 6 tabs in firefox to both laptop and monitor (4-2 each)
Online video watching is very rare on laptop
As per u .. i should go ahead with new new monitor plan .. right?
1. will doing this put extra pressure on the GPU/CPU? Ans Probably Not So Much
2. Is this a good idea to get 1 more monitor with this spec laptop or should i drop this idea? Ans before going dual monitor for this old age laptop i would recommend get one monitor 1st and if possible borrow another from friend or someone. test it and then decide
hope it helps
@Sam702 -- Additional external monitor will need additional graphical processing power and since your laptop came with dedicated GPU, there will be additional load on the GPU. Though it will be minimal, but it depends on at what level the GPU is being pushed right now which is without external monitor.
Use utilities like GPU-Z to check current load on the GPU.
