I have gpu death?

[Cesar.gonz341]

My you died sorta I put in a old gt 720 and when I check device manager it recognizes the dead gpu my xfx 7970 for a min then crashes is their a way I can pass through my graphics from my 7970 to my gt 720

My you?

 

[Someone correct me if im wrong and Ill delete this and learn something at the same time] - And unless some black magic fuckery has released in the last year that I havent heard about, no you can't pass though one card to another (Graphics cards render for the displays you have plugged in to each individual GPU.) I have a GTX 1060 and a R9 270X in the same system, the 1060 drives whatever monitors you have plugged into it and the 270X drives whatever is plugged into it. Can't pass one through the other unfortunately.

 

Your best bet would be if you had some sort of wireless streaming setup that the 7970 could render and then be sent to your streaming device (Like a Steam Link), but I doubt that would work either. (If the GPU is dead, its dead. There is no rendering to be had)

 

What steps did you take to determine your 7970 dead?

 

Edit: I was wrong, Props to @Saksham for correcting me and teaching me something new today.

you are severely mistaken. if you are running at least windows 10 (build 1803), you should have access to the "graphics settings" menu in the settings app (just search for it). there, you can set the machine to use the 7970 and pass it through the 720. 

 

this is the same tech that laptops have been using forever. the game is always running through the dGPU but passes the video to the integrated graphics on the cpu and then to the display (this is because the output is only connected to the iGPU). <- this also allows Nvidia Optimus to work

Oh thats dope. Definitly didnt know that was a thing. Never even thought about laptops using it that way

not many people know about it. thats also what allowed you to use freesync with nvidia gpu (pass the nvidia to the amd gpu which is connected to freesync monitor). boom... freesync with nvidia for cheaper than g-sync tax($200)

Cheaper minus the part of buying an AMD GPU I imagine, but I guess if you have one lying around. That is really cool

I ment GPU it outo corrected but the problem I have now is that it says on games like no man sky that 0.00 vram reported and won't run and we happy few says need dx11 feture lv10 is required what should I do
