Question Like G-Sync, does the monitor have to be plugged into the GPU to do Raytracing ?

[nelska]

just wondering I havn't upgraded yet. thanks. Dont talk to me like i should plug it into the gpu. ect. I just want to know if you CAN. no matter if its a huge drop in "performance" thanks.

G-Sync has nothing to do with ray tracing or DLSS.

If you're asking if a GPU can render stuff without a monitor, yes, but you have to tell Windows that, otherwise it'll prefer the one the monitor is plugged into.

This is not the question at all let me try again. If you plug the monitor into the motherboard can you still enable raytracing within videogames or does the monitor have to be plugged directly into the GPU. For features like G-sync. you cannot use it unless the monitor itself is plugged directly into the GPU. I am wondering before I upgrade if its something that can be bridged through the integrated graphics card. I enjoy operating from the monitor port that is connected directly to the motherboard and was just wondering if it was worth the upgrade to rtx. Thanks.

EDIT: wait.. I guess thats exactly what you mean. haha. thanks.

If you have a video card, there's no reason to plug your monitor into the motherboard. You only really do that if you want to use an IGP.

I am a pretty oldschool dude. That's what I do. Even tho I said not to say that. lol. Thanks EDIT: my endgame is to have a duel monitor setup so the secondary one can gsync to the integrated one. have a good day.

What do you mean by this? G-Sync only works on the monitor connected to the NVIDIA GPU.

This should be the OP. Would have saved a lot of guessing what the question really is. Would have saved a lot of posts too.

Hotaru literally answered this in the very next post.

Ohhh, well in that case, yeah, go for it! Now that you've said that, it makes perfect sense! 😆

not if you're planning to do mining with it .

Thats the entire point of having a secondary monitor. I Run integrated graphics. Just because its not a laptop doesn't mean you HAVE to turn that off or buy a card without them A lot of AMD fan boys loose their mind over this. I just function better like it and I have always an intel user since the original xbox.

as long as you can raytrace from integrated graphics.. But, I am just assuming its going to be a massive bog on the fps.

He did answer it. but the duel monitor issue has nothing to do with raytracing i was just wondering if you could do raytracing from the motherboard port to the monitor. which i guess you can if i caught his drift. which means I could run that as well as having the secondary monitor in gsync. like robocop lol

It depends on which GPU is actually rendering the game. My information is likely outdated but when you launch an app, the GPU doing the rendering is whatever monitor that the app shows up on. For games, most of them default to the primary monitor. If you set the primary monitor to the iGPU, that's going to render the game.

However Windows allows you to set which GPU to render the application on, regardless of which GPU the monitor is connected to. So if you tell Windows to render all your ray tracing games on the NVIDIA GPU, it will do it even if the app launches on the monitor connected to the iGPU.

What does mining have to do with this?

Since windows 10 I believe if you just plug your monitor into the motherboard it will boot to the igpu but if the processor is powerful enough it will allocate some (or most) of the work directly to the GPU. You can also designate it yes. If you ever have some time to goof around with turn the Igpu OFF. lol. The computer still boots to the mobos monitor so its like a giant power rake to get the graphics to load. I am assuming that is what its like to own an amd. but im jp.

im not sure if theres even anything to render with mining but if there is hes got a point its faster and you dont really NEED to work straight out of the processor die. you could just set it and forget it to max performance and come back with it. Im all exact about it so i like it to bridge from the chipset to the processor. home base always there at the cpu. like the olden days of no gpu at all and stuff... haha

Any documentation on this?

nobody wants to test it because everyones afraid of using their mobo to port their monitor. but from what all these replies are saying it should work. i don't see why it wouldn't the frames aren't going to be 480hz. they will be more like 60hz but thats what I was shooting for.
