Can I Use an Integrated GPU and a Dedicated GPU Together?
Asked by
CuriousCoder42
I'm curious if it's possible to run both an integrated GPU (iGPU) and a dedicated GPU (dGPU) in the same PC build. I have two separate setups: one with a GTX 770 and an Intel i5 8th Gen CPU, and another with an RX 580 and an Intel i9 10th Gen CPU (which I found as e-waste). Both CPUs support Intel UHD 630 graphics. If it's feasible, would using both GPUs together enhance my performance in any way?

With your current setup, you can't actively use both GPUs simultaneously for enhanced performance. You can switch between them for power saving, but that's about it.

Check out Lossless Scaling on Steam. It could allow you to take advantage of multiple GPUs to achieve a sort of frame generation. Just make sure it’s compatible with the Intel iGPU.

You can connect displays to both the integrated GPU and the dedicated GPU at the same time, but they can't be combined for better performance. They work independently of each other.
CuriousCoder42: Ohh, I see!
