if this is a laptop then the switch between igpu and dgpu is either in the bios, handled by nvidia driver or the igpu is physically disabled/disconnected

it cant accessed through bios and i was able to see igpu and dgpu in other distro like a endeavoros so, i want igpu to be main usage and dgpu for gaming ofc to use prime feature to do that.

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 8:42 AM

and you ran

lspci --nn | grep -i vga

yes, i have

aren't you on a desktop?

KKyle Gospo aren't you on a desktop?

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 8:48 AM

yeah why?

AAl-Mumin yeah why?

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:48 AM

I can't think of a single desktop with hybrid graphics, most aren't set up for that

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:48 AM

what are you trying to accomplish?

KKyle Gospo what are you trying to accomplish?

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 8:50 AM

like how i said igpu for normal stuff and dgpu for gaming pretty much it

AAl-Mumin like how i said igpu for normal stuff and dgpu for gaming pretty much it

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:50 AM

there's basically zero reason to do that on a desktop

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:50 AM

your dgpu will power down to use next to no power

Ryzen9 7950X3D is a iGPU version, im running with also

©©TriMoon™Ryzen9 7950X3D is a iGPU version, im running with also 😉

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:52 AM

Yes but he's trying to use both the iGPU and his actual GPU at the same time

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 8:52 AM

just with dm and discord and web its already almost using 1gb of vram quite not good thing if u playing intensive games specially modern

KKyle Gospo Yes but he's trying to use both the iGPU and his actual GPU at the same time

©TriMoon™•1/18/24, 8:52 AM

Would like that also

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:52 AM

assuming this even worked, the frame copy is going to cost you more performance than the VRAM usage

KKyle Gospo assuming this even worked, the frame copy is going to cost you more performance ...

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 8:53 AM

when game almost used all vram = 10 fps unplayable make sense?

AAl-Mumin when game almost used all vram = 10 fps unplayable make sense?

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:53 AM

no, no part of this makes sense

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:53 AM

this is a bad idea and should not be explored

©TriMoon™•1/18/24, 8:54 AM

Personally in my case the only reason for using both would be to use the MB video output connector instead of the one on the video card...

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 8:54 AM

why its bad idea, does it cost me less performance or what exactly?

AAl-Mumin why its bad idea, does it cost me less performance or what exactly?

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:54 AM

again, assuming it worked, it will cost you more performance than you're trying to gain

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:54 AM

yes

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 8:55 AM

copying a completed frame from one GPU to the other for display is not free

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 8:56 AM

imagine if i just turn off dm when want to play games lol

Mehh...my cpu is idling it's way to agedom anyhow 1% load hahaha

©TriMoon™•1/18/24, 9:01 AM

By the way im still new to this CPU, so don't know if im actually using both the iGPU and my dGPU at same time...

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 9:02 AM

most desktops it's one or the other

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 9:02 AM

you'd know based on whether your monitor is connected to your GPU, or to the motherboard

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:03 AM

this is how graphics work on a desktop

©TriMoon™•1/18/24, 9:03 AM

ahh ok, so it's shutdown automatically at boot by BIOS right, if i don't use the mainboard output

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:03 AM

and this is how it works on most gaming laptops

©TriMoon™•1/18/24, 9:03 AM

AHA

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:03 AM

that copy from nvidia to igpu costs actual performance

i see, okay makes sense

HHikariKnight that copy from nvidia to igpu costs actual performance

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 9:04 AM

and in the laptop use case has actual hardware behind it

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:04 AM

and its specal circuitry

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:04 AM

if you fork out a crap ton of money you might be lucky and get something overbuilt like this

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:04 AM

because that circuitry is not cheap

I think that is actually what my case is like with my Ryzen9 7950X3D CPU and nVidia card

i think that one has the igpu not connected actually

Al-Mumin•1/18/24, 9:07 AM

i have integrated gpu but funny thing doesnt even send any connections to my screen sounds like driver missin related but who cares since i got nvidia to mess with lol

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 9:08 AM

most igpus on desktop only send video out via the motherboard and never share

Kyle Gospo•1/18/24, 9:08 AM

you'd need two cables to your monitor

KKyle Gospo you'd need two cables to your monitor

HikariKnightOP•1/18/24, 9:08 AM

and even then, most motherboard default behavior is

if dgpu detected, igpu disabled

if dgpu detected, igpu disabled

some bioses exposes an override

if this is a laptop then the switch between igpu and dgpu is either in the bios, handled by nvidia d
