hey, 

 

so I just got the Asus Zenbook Duo and its a great machine. However, the integrated graphics Intel Iris XE is blocking the ability to have 4 monitors. it has a 3070 on board as well and when it gets used it boots all 4 monitors. i looked in the graphics settings and it is saying that i have reached the number of supported displays for the integrated chip. is there a way to disable the integrated graphics and enable the 3070 to handle all of the monitors? 

 

thanks!

SInce the laptop has optimus, the displays are connected to the igpu, not the dgpu. So there isn't really anything you can do here.

seriously? that is the worst news. why the f would they cripple it like that???? WTF Intel.

without optimus the dGPU will run 24/7 and battery life turns terrible. It's also an Nvidia tech

it makes sense i guess. I dont really care about the battery life because this is always going to be plugged into the wall, can i disable optimus and gain the 3070 as the main gpu?

you cant, that's hard wired. If they dont give you a physical switch to change between iGPU and dGPU there's nothing you could do.

Nope, the igpu is wird to the internal display and display outs, and there is no way to get the direct video out on the laptop. This also depends on the laptop your using, some have a mux that can change what gpu the display is connected to.

ALso if you just want a basic external display, you can get a display link usb display adapter, and add another display that way.
