Image output by an integrated video card, and processing by a discrete one?

Question

Video cards

Is it possible to organize the output of an image with an integrated video card, and the processing of 3D graphics with a discrete one?

Answer 1

If the hardware basically allows the simultaneous operation of an integrated and a discrete video card (sometimes this is not the case), then you can do this in your application, because when you initialize a video card, the current one is selected by default, but you, as a developer, can specify which one to use.
By the way, an interesting point if you have a multi-monitor mode in the screen extension mode:
- in some cases, this is the video card whose monitor is selected as the main one for the start menu
- in others - the first in the BIOS initialization list
- there are games that select the video card in windowed mode, on the monitor which the window opened
- there are also tools for selecting a video card from the manufacturer itself for each program you run
Hence the options for how to act if the program you are using does not take into account the presence of several video cards - before starting the program, make the monitor with the desired video card the first one, and after starting, transfer the program window to the monitor you need.
Unfortunately, overlays are not transferred in this way, and most likely it will not work in the mode of disabled video effects (system - additional parameters - performance - ensure the best performance).
It does not depend on the manufacturer of the video card, and will work everywhere

Answer 2

Yes, AMD can do that.
