Could you use integrated graphics and a dedicated GPU at the same time?

I am wondering if I could plug a monitor into my motherboard, and another one into a graphics card. Then I would be able to stream a youtube video on the integrated graphics, with no performance loss on the dedicated GPU.

😳
Not that active so I may not respond.

I think intel will implement it with their xe cards and compatible cpu. Idk about any other cpu/gpu tho.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

 

CURRENT PC SPECS    

CPU             : Ryzen 5 3600 (Formerly Ryzen 3 1200)

GPU             : ASUS RX 580 Dual OC (Formerly ASUS GTX 1060 but it got corroded for some odd reasons)

GPU COOOER      : ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA (Stock cooler overheats even when undervolted :()

MOBO            : MSI B350m Bazooka

MEMORY          : Team Group Elite TUF DDR4 3600 Mhz CL 16
STORAGE         : Seagate Baracudda 1TB and Kingston SSD
PSU             : Thermaltake Lite power 550W (Gonna change soon as i dont trust this)
CASE            : Rakk Anyag Frost
CPU COOLER      : ID-Cooling SE 207
CASE FANS       : Mix of ID cooling fans, Corsair fans and Rakk Ounos (planned change to ID Cooling)
DISPLAY         : SpectrePro XTNS24 144hz Curved VA panel
MOUSE           : Logitech G603 Lightspeed
KEYBOARD        : Rakk Lam Ang

HEADSET         : Plantronics RIG 500HD

Kingston Hyper X Stinger

 

and a whole lot of LED everywhere(behind the monitor, behind the desk, behind the shelf of the PC mount and inside the case)

If you want to use separate monitors then yeah it's going to work,it's just going to treat the IGPU as another GPU and it's going to function separately.

It's works on any CPU/gpu, just enable the igpu in the bios, and then the port on the motherboard is active.

I could use some help with this!

ther already is no performance loss running 2d monitors off your dedicated gpu. there wasn't 20 years ago and there still isn't. monitors that display 2d imagery like youtube or your desktop don;t require significant amounts of power.

Sure, you can definitely run an extra monitor off your iGPU. I've done it myself, I think. But you're very unlikely to see any performance difference versus just using the dedicated graphics. Playing a stream or Youtube video on another monitor while you game is inconsequential for a dedicated GPU.

 

Also, I'm unsure that your web browser would even use the iGPU for graphics acceleration.. it might just default to the fastest available graphics processor regardless of what monitor the window is in.
