No TitanXXL in SLI, no 8k 500hz Gsync OLED 100" monitor and not an Intel i10-9870 16core 6Ghz is needed. No, on our old age, and most WW1 simmers are 40+, we need something to correct what is become lesser at an certain age.

Right yeah, even cheaper then Viagra, Spectacles! So I went for 19,- euro, to Specsavers to buy special glasses for working (& gaming) behind an computer screen.

Results: extra details without the loss of FPS, further testings is needed, but I did not see any negative impact on the CPU load!!!!!! :-)

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

It boggles my noodle that with the help of your goggles you are able to ogle results from Google. dizzy

Good one, but now back to the topic, while most spent thousands on new Vcards and high tech monitors, without knowing that yours eyes also need an upgrade to correct the loss in view, when become of an certain age. If you take a look at the "what is your age" poll on the Rof forum, we all see that most of the flyers was 40+ of age, at that time the poll was started.
We all know when we need reading glasses, but glasses for behind the monitor???

So I still think seeing the Woff details, 19,- euro for correcting my loss in eyesight for working behind a monitor is a real bargain!

More than 80% of your info gathering capability is visual if you are a sighted individual. It's amazing how many folks diss their eyes for other things like tattoos, piercings and spacer doo-dads for their ear lobes. Go and get a thorough eye examination and get 'real' glasses! You just might be even more amazed at the outcome!
