Nothing would happen. The HDMI-port on your GPU is an output, not an input.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

You mean plugged the cable going from your console into your GPU? Nothing. Both are outputs. You could plug your GPU into your Xbox One's (if you have Xbox One) other HDMI port, as it is a pass-through, but I think it is only 1.2b or whatever, so you might not be getting full output.

You wouldn't achieve anything... connecting an output to an output doesn't work.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

The PC absorbs all the compute power from the console.

You actually get double the compute power if you use HDMI 2.0, Userbenchmark just confirmed it.

 

No but really, connecting two HDMI-outs will do nothing, regarding OP's thought.

It opens a portal to the Linus Dimension - a parallel universe, where the only stores online and offline are LTTStore.com and the only drink in existence is cold fresh water.

Linus interrupts your dreams with sponsor segues, and in the waking world, 1000 miniature Anthonys follow you everywhere, telling you to use Linux.
