Do hdmi splitters cause input lag and/or make the display worse? thinking of getting one

I love coming to Yea Forums because of tech illiterates like these and

My favorite is every time a new AMD processor comes out they go insane about how this one will finally destroy intel

........and the same process repeats every single time, garbage performance, cheap shit for poor people. every time. just as always.

fucking retard

Did you just wake up out of coma?

Ryzen actually was different and was a huge success.

I see no reason to buy Intel over Ryzen now. Ryzen just simply provides far better performance for the price, with no downside.

The only reason I would ever buy Intel now is if I want to buy the extremely overpriced 2066 socket CPUs and x299 chipset motherboards, simply because they have IOMMU groups for proper PCI-e and USB passthrough, so you can run a Linux host with a Windows guest, instead being forced to actually use Windows.

No, I mean, what kind of input device uses HDMI?

Not sure but when I used one with a vr headset it caused a bunch of blue dots blinking so I stopped using it

thats input lag

I love when retards like you pretend to be smarter than other people but don't bother to prove it.

every fucking time

Been using a shitty one I bought used for $5 and I haven't experienced anything noticeable.

you have to get one with an electron-to-tachyon converter to reverse the lag

>Ryzen actually was different and was a huge success.
yes, everyone not brandfagging knows this
>I see no reason to buy Intel over Ryzen now.
If you want the highest performance cpu
>Ryzen just simply provides far better performance for the price, with no downside.
the downside is that it is >for >the >price

you are just as bad as the intelshills. I bought an 8700k because I wanted sick nasty frames and that is also why I bought an nvidia gpu. I could have bought an amd cpu and gpu and saved hundreds of dollars for ~85% of the intel/nvidia performance

Did you fail to use google? There is a literal video of a dude testing some chink splitter and it has no noticeable lag.

i cant use google where i live

I use this one and it works great. No noticeable lag, even on my monitor.

A Ryzen 2700X outperforms your 8700k and costs $80 less.

You have a point with the very high end of Nvidia GPUs, where if you are spending over $700, you can get performance that isn't available on even the highest AMD card.

The vast majority of people aren't buying $700+ GPUs though.

/g/ threads on Yea Forums, and it never changes

Are you using a gold-plated HDMI cable?

Do you live at MS HQ and only Bing is allowed?

>HDMI
proprietary dogshit

No, not in any way that equates to even a single frame. Just be sure to get one that's separately powered, there's a lot of electronics that are finicky otherwise.

the new ryzens weren't out yet, and so I bought the best sub-$500 cpu for single core performance at the time (which still holds true against zen+, even moreso if I decide to grow balls and overclock the stupid fucking thing).

HDMI switch != HDMI splitter

A switch is multiple in, one out, like if you have more devices that use HDMI than your TV has ports for. A splitter is one in, multiple out, to display on 2 or more monitors.

This
As long as it's got its own power source, you're fine.

Yes, and yes.

Aren't there splitters with passthrough functionality for video capture and stuff?

I don't get splitters, how do they work?
does the source just send a stronger signal?
surely the act of splitting the signal would create some sort of downside

You can use a splitter and send one HDMI to a monitor, one to a capture card, but if you have a device that's one HDMI in, one HDMI out, and video gets sent through USB or something, that's just an external capture card, like what you'd get from Avermedia or Elgato.

You do know that input doesn't exclusively refer to human input right? A computer/console is inputting through the hdmi to the display/output.

no, dumbfuck. youre so retarded it hurts

As a rule of thumb anything that needs to do processing adds any palpable input lag. Switches in general do not add lag, analog or digital.
