  • I’m going to assume that it is possible to put both the dedicated and integrated GPUs to work, though I’ve never seen this kind of setup.

    This is likely not something you want to actually do.

    The integrated GPU in your processor is not an additional bit of computing power your computer is not using, but special software that can use your processor to put out graphics if a dedicated GPU is missing. It is extremely inferior at processing graphics compared to the real dedicated GPU, and if you were running firefox to watch (Not decode) youtube, you would very likely see things like screen tearing as the processor struggled to keep up.

    If you wanted to do this just to see the outcome for yourself, you could switch your displayport cable to your monitor to connect to your motherboard instead of your GPU to get an idea of how rough this would be. If you wanted to continue after seeing this, I believe you would need to connect a 2nd monitor in order to use both the dedicated and integrated GPUs.
