Is this intended/expected to work on desktop setups with discrete GPUs too? I believe Optimus et al were always laptop-only, but some desktop users might care about heat/power/fan noise.
- DiabloD3 9y agoIt's expected to work. I've tested it on mine, Haswell i7's own iGPU, and a full sized GCN Radeon, with a game rendering on the Radeon but displaying on the iGPU. Multi-monitor setup with 2 on the Radeon (normally all 3) and 1 on the iGPU, seemed to work fine. No real visible lag either, from what I could tell with limited testing.
- rasz 9y agoWorks on desktop just fine. For example Pentium G3258 integrated GPU forwarding fullhd over VGA rendered on ancient Nvidia 7900GS (old, but still 2-4x faster than integrated intel). Overhead was ~10-30% compared to direct monitor connection to nvidia card.
