[SOLVED] No option to enable iGPU in Maximus XIII Hero

[Andy Yu]

I am currently trying to use iGPU for quicksync and offload some work off my 3080, but I can't find any option under advanced in bios.

CPU: Intel i9 10850k
Cooler: EKWB 360 Elite AIO
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x8GB DDR4 3600 CL18
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus XIII Hero (Z590) Bios version: 0704
GPU: ASUS RTX 3080 Strix OC
PSU: EVGA Supernova P2 850W

Some boards don't give you the option, it is forced automatic either upon detection of a dGPU or a monitor plugged into the IGP at boot.

so there is no way for me to enable it until i connect one of the monitor through hdmi?

If your BIOS has no option to force the IGP enabled, that may be the only way and that is assuming your BIOS does enable the IGP when there is a monitor plugged in. There is a chance your BIOS skips the IGP as soon as it finds a dGPU.

If he wants the IGP for QuickSync, a safe bet would be video transcoding/encoding with something that only supports QuickSync unless he's using NVEnc too already. In the case of a streamer, I could imagine wanting to use both to encode a relatively low bitrate live-stream and a higher quality local recording of every individual input for review and post-editing.

Video editing software that uses quicksync.

I was able to activate integrated graphics by disconnecting 3080 and boot up the system first to enable it, close it and plug my 3080 back in.
