Optimus - routing dGPU through Thunderbolt3?
I'm using a Asus ROG G501VW gaming laptop for working while traveling. Unfortunately it's Optimus enabled so the HDMI port is wired to the iGPU instead of the dedicated GTX960M.
However it also has a Thunderbolt3 port that can double as a display port, and from what I hear that should support much higher transfer rates and resolutions.
So I bought a basic USB Type C -> HDMI adapter cable and connected the DK2 but to no avail - seems like it still connects to the iGPU.
Is there any way of rerouting the dGPU to the Thunderbolt3/USB Type C port?
Ofc its intended use would be an eGPU with the TB3 port, but thinking maybe the dGPU can fill that spot with some reroute magic.
