- ZiiS 3y agoThis seems very unlikly. The may be laptops where the HDMI can use either depending on the power profile.
- Tade0 3y agoYes, and they achieve that by routing the data through the integrated GPU. I had a problem with Windows and AMD drivers where in this configuration the integrated GPU would run full throttle despite not doing anything serious, making the system run hot. I "solved" it by using the DisplayPort - 10°C difference on the CPU and, more importantly, no throttling.
