    Is nVidia trying to bring back SLI in OpenGL?

    https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-OpenGL-Multicast2 Interesting article on Phoronix about nVidia adding multi-GPU extensions to open-GL. Since multi-GPU has not seen any adoption since Windows 10 I think this might be cool.

    Dell 2711 DisplayPort or HDMI

    I just picked up a Dell 2711 at Frys for $200. I know it's old and not the greatest but for the price I figured why not. If I don't like it the wife can surely use an upgrade. My question is, in order to use 2560 x 1440 do I need to use DisplayPort or can I use HDMI? I guess DL DVI works too...
