Hi! I have a laptop with a mux switch and am trying to use my dedicated card for all graphics and use the mux switch to push the frames to my laptop monitor instead of passing through the iGPU. I am currently using this to render everything with my dGPU
I have a few reasons for why I want to do that. My media/game becomes choppy if the CPU is at high usage, I cannot passthrough my iGPU without my laptop screen becoming black and setting my laptop screen to its maximum 240hz refresh rate turns it black, with only the mouse cursor showing properly
I’m fairly certain the first two issues would be fixed by properly using my hardware. I’m only hoping the refresh rate issue is also related
Hope you can help me!
