Hybrid graphics
From Gentoo Wiki (test)
This page details the use of NVidia and Intel hybrid graphics.
When are hybrid graphics useful?
- The display is connected to the iGPU.
- There is no hardware multiplexer available (and therefore no BIOS option to switch to one of the cards)
- NVidia and Intel cards are the two graphic cards on the device.
What options are available?
- Proprietary NVidia drivers with Bumblebee.
- Nouveau with PRIME.
Note
Bumblebee does not work correctly with Nouveau.
Bumblebee does not work correctly with Nouveau.
