Hey all, I know that switchable graphics is a thing in laptops where there is usually a single port. But how would you go about it on desktop? Do you put your monitor in the onboard HDMI or on the dGPU port? There are other issues associated with doing it of course, but I thought it might save on power and noise if I used the iGPU as much as possible.

Only have a nvidia GPU at the moment, but hoping to get an AMD 9070 at some point

    Oh I gotta check this, I’ve always been running a slower screen alongside the main 144Hz one but this is the first time I hear about it affecting power draw this way.
