Where can I find an unused PCIe slot on my laptop?
Also it is not very rational to buy 2 GPUs and use only one at a time.
- gumballindie 3y agoAll gaming laptops come with a secondary gpu. What i do on mine is a disable the dedicated gpu, enable passthrough, and voila - shitty windows can run virtualised with a dedicated gpu. Takes 5-10 mins to do so. Also if your laptop supports thunderbolt or usb4 then all you need is an egpu. But thats the more pricey solution. Having said that virgl is pretty darn sweet!
- lillecarl 3y agoI have an AMD 290 or whatever GPU to run NixOS (will be upgrading to Intel soon) and a 3060 that I pass into a Windows VM for gaming, I feel very rational. Unused PCIe slots in a laptop is hard, haven't tried but I imagine Thunderbolt could work for this purpose.
