USB-C with DP over iGPU or dGPU

[dwatfs]

I would like to know to which GPU the USB-C (with DP) ports are connected to.
I can't find that information in the TechSpec.
For VR the USB-C port must be connected to the dGPU.

I don't have a specific product in mind.
I would like to know how to find out that information in general, so I can choose a model accordingly.

Hi @dwatfs,

Thank you for your response, 

To ensure that the USB-C port with DisplayPort (DP) connectivity on a laptop is connected to the discrete graphics processing unit (DGPU), you need to find a laptop model that explicitly mentions this feature in its specifications or has a detailed technical review confirming this setup.

One HP product that fits this criteria is the HP Omen 15. This gaming laptop often comes with a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort output, and it's typically connected to the dedicated graphics card. However, I recommend double-checking the specifications or consulting technical reviews for the specific model you're interested in to confirm this information. 

Additionally, it's always a good idea to verify this detail with the HP before making a purchase to ensure it meets your requirements for VR use. 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Hi .@Alden4,

I took a look at the specs of the all Omen laptops in the current line-up and could not find any information on that topic.
I will probably stick to XMG laptops, because they always list which gpu their ports are connected to.
