@jeder the nvidia dgpu on their laptops is connected to both the external output and the internal screen, but there's a software-controlled hardware switch to just basically take it off both outputs, making the igpu do all the work

furthermore they actually tend to have proper iommu grouping, so you can just shove the nvidia gpu in a vm

usually laptops have a much weirder setup

@amberxorluci so you can pretty much disable the dgpu and make use of that battery?

@jeder yeah it's basically doing nothing, it didn't show up on any power usage information

i'm pretty sure you can just straight up shut it off

@jeder @amberxorluci instead of soldering the display to one of two GPUs, have a switch in between that let's hyou select on the hardware level which gpu is active.
That allows you to completely disable the nvidia card

@jeder iirc the old docking station could also only drive 2 external displays (but iirc you could connect a third one to the hdmi port, i can't remember exactly)
