It's just not as elite, the computer should have capacity for all the

  Do you want to be the "child" with the second-rate toy, or the king of
the hill?

I've honestly never wasted a moment of thought on the childish need to be "king of the hill"...

Intel and/or M$ failed me, with regard to Win11 and the CPU video with
the new monitor, I admit that.  But the NVIDIA card largely solved
that problem.  It was the right tactic under the circumstances, a
useful upgrade to the system, giving me more options, as well as
support for the monitor in and of itself.

Those you are expert at.

  It's not an excuse, it's an explanation of what happened.  I couldn't
anticipate the CPU video so poorly handling 4K, but when it did, I
knew the solution.  Big F'ing deal.

You could have researched it.
