©ahh ok, so it's shutdown automatically at boot by BIOS right, if i don't use the mainboard output
Hand this is how it works on most gaming laptops
©AHA
Hthat copy from nvidia to igpu costs actual performance
©i see, okay makes sense
Kand in the laptop use case has actual hardware behind it
Hand its specal circuitry
Hif you fork out a crap ton of money you might be lucky and get something overbuilt like this
Hbecause that circuitry is not cheap
©I think that is actually what my case is like with my Ryzen9 7950X3D CPU and nVidia card
Hi think that one has the igpu not connected actually

Ai 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
Kmost igpus on desktop only send video out via the motherboard and never share
Kyou'd need two cables to your monitor
Hand even then, most motherboard default behavior is
some bioses exposes an override
some bioses exposes an override
Hand some doesnt need the override
Hand some just disable and wont let you use the igpu as long as a dgpu exists
Ai have same thing just have cable connected to motherboard and refuse to send any display so it just uses nvidia how fun
©While messing around trying to install uBlue versions, i also happen to have tested my connection to the monitor using the MB video output while using the nVidea card, and seemed to work so 
Hyeah as i said depends on mobo bios, some disable, some dont, some lets you choose
©In other words the nVidea card was used but the video output came out the MB connection somehow
©ahh ok
Kthis is also a fairly common thing on reddit where someone will buy a prebuilt
Kconnect the monitor to the motherboard and not the gpu
Kand then complain that all their games run like shit
©haha
Kbecause the GPU they paid 60% of the cost of the computer for isn't even active
Afacts lol
Hmy friend did this with an alienware he bought and used for 5 years 
although to his defense this alienware has a dgpu with minihdmi only
although to his defense this alienware has a dgpu with minihdmi only
©I think the FPS was low when the nVidea drivers were not active, but no difference when it was...
©But i guess that has todo with the MB BIOS in my case...?
Ai had to ask is it worth buying steamdeck or just stick with bazzite nvidia version?
Hthe bios only control (if the option is exposed) if the motherboard video out ports are enabled or not when a dgpu is present
Kreally depends on what you need
Kdo you want to play on the go?
©Bazzite in anycase where you have a choice i say....i LOVE Bazzite since i came across it a few weeks ago
Aif i had steamdeck i would wipe steamos and use bazzite deck cuz bazzite just better in overall
Hanyways i have to head out now, need to help my mom shovel snow, bit hard for her to do it when she is in a wheelchair atm
©This uBlue distro is just FREAKING fantastic IMHO...
H
Mtrying to imagine a custom build wheelchair snowblower now
Mniche market but could be huge
R
Hplease do, i bet my mom would have a blast on it
Halthough she wouldnt reach the top of her trailer that she uses to transport her scooter
Aikr, i need to figure out what i need to keep me enjoyed with using this amazing bazzite
©To be honest i see uBlue, or Bazzite in this case, as the way to go and prepare for PXE boots from the cloud in future world wide...
