How can I use the IGPU in the intel i5-8400 and the gtx 1060 to run games faster (and is that even possible)

[dafko_m]

Recently I read somewhere that you can pair your igpu and dedicated gpu for faster performance my question is how can this be done and are there any cons or reasons for not doing this?(if its possible).

No, that was never implemented.
DX12 promised the chance to use two vastly different GPUs together, but it never happened.

I see but what about games that use DirectX11 or lower, or for some tasks other than gaming?

No, its not possible to use both GPUs to increase performance.

You're fast but thank you none the less.

there was a set of software and a hardware chip to do what you wanted. look up asus z77 sabertooth. it has an extra plex chip and software that never got the bugs out that would let you bond the ipgpu and a video card.

ohh ok thanks but is that the only asus mobo that had that feature because I have the TUF B360-PRO GAMING motherboard so do you think these new mobos have that feature?

LucidLogix was the old company it gone now.
there software was called mvp 2.0 it still there on the net.
if you do install it do it on a clean windows 10 drive. if the system crashes you can wipe and restart.
