Omen 17, even w/ the MUX set to discrete, any TB4/USB-C monitor I connect seems to use iGPU

The mini displayport and HDMI jacks both use the RTX card correctly, it's just this Thunderbolt 4 port

Is this a permanent limitation of the hardware? 

Thanks!!

Thank you for the response. 

To make sure I understand, do you mean that the Thunderbolt 4 port on this system must always go through the CPU integrated graphics? And so if I want a direct connection to GPU it must be the mini-displayport or HDMI ports?

Thanks again!

Thank you for posting back. 

High-speed Thunderbolt 4 technology leverages the power of your CPU to improve video performance and it will use default graphic settings. 

Also, graphic settings are managed by the system you cannot change those settings.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
