The PC absorbs all the compute power from the console.

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

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.

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.

Okay then, case solved

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.

Bricks both GPUs and then you cry badly. 

Yep, agree. Stupid though lol.
