Integrated Dedicated clarification.

[Deep Paul]

Suppose I have a laptop with Nvidia  930m GPU and processor graphics Intel HD 530. While starting a game I select the Nvidia GPU, Will I get any benefit of the processor graphics ? if not Would selecting a particular setting or using particular software make use of both GPUs ?

Don't think laptops use both cpu and gpu graphics (if laptop has a gpu)...

The dedicated GPU, in this case the Nvidia 930 will be better suited for gaming than the integrated CPU. There is no way to link them together unfortunately to utilize both at the same time.

SLI an Intel HD and an Nvidia GPU, that'd be an achievement.

There was software once upon a time that would let the iGPU act as a frame smoother and booster (sort of like g-sync/freesync and AMD duel graphics all at the same time, but using intel iGPU). I believe it was called Lucid Virtu MVP of something like that. I tried it once and it was interesting, but mostly useless.

Why does that laptop exist?  Seems to me like the 930M is only 10% more powerful than the integrated graphics

Probably marketing? Unless you want to run lots of monitors(you can run monitors off both). Or need cuda, get a 960m or faster.

Thanks I really needed to know that.

yes but I mean why?  It's a really dumb spec.  Why have a dedicated card that's 10% more powerful than the integrated graphics?  Make it worth it or don't bother...

marketing tact , electronics companies want us to stay dumb. and believe me i have many friends who are dumb enough purchase this laptop and keep bragging about the beautiful NVIDIA card.
