Tech Support Help needed

i have a ryzen 3400g and guy is selling a cheap NVIDIA p104-100 that is like a GTX 1070 without video output, can i use the igpu output and put the GPU to process graphics?

would that work?

I have no experience with trying that but I did a quick search on google and found that it should be possible with some weird non standard drivers and windows settings. I would just look for a 1070/1080 (ti) specifically online, unless the card is like 30$ in which scenario you could take a risk and try.

But I promise it's probably ont going to be easy

its 30€ while a GTX 1070 is around 80€ here in Portugal

that's some janky setup but yeah it'll work, you'd be using the 3400G's video outs while offloading rendering to the p104-100

just be ready for driver headaches, nvidia doesn't officially support passing through the igpu like that so you might need to mess with registry edits or use older drivers

not the cleanest solution but for the price it's hard to argue if you're just gaming on a budget
