Good day.

As the title suggests, I want my HDMI output to be from my iGPU instead of the dGPU.

My reason for this is different than the majority of the people: I've bought a second display, which is an old VGA monitor with a 768p resolution, because I only want it as a second desktop and mostly video playback while I do more 3D resource intensive stuff on my main display.

I think I should also mention this: I've thought that just a video playback and screen render wouldn't strain the dGPU that much but it does a lot more than I've expected. I'm normally able to use a certain program with high render quality at a stable 60 frames but if I happen to run a playback on my second display, this figure goes to as low as 30 and stuttery frames.

 

As the bottom line, my question is this: Is it possible to direct the display from iGPU to HDMI output, as in a software issue, or is there no workaround for this, as it is an hardware issue/design flaw?

Thanks in advance.
