Hey all, I know that switchable graphics is a thing in laptops where there is usually a single port. But how would you go about it on desktop? Do you put your monitor in the onboard HDMI or on the dGPU port? There are other issues associated with doing it of course, but I thought it might save on power and noise if I used the iGPU as much as possible.
Only have a nvidia GPU at the moment, but hoping to get an AMD 9070 at some point
Not sure if that’s a good idea. Switchable GPUs suck bad enough on laptops, where that’s a standard use case. With desktop where that’s more exotic, I’d be very surprised if all that works without issues.
I’ve generally had pretty good success with laptops, but they were always Intel + Nvidia with only one HDMI port available.

In general, the less main-stream your configuration gets, the more complicated and error-prone it becomes.
