on DisplayLink's website? Yes
I have an amd cpu (without igpu) and an nvidia gpu. my gpu's output port does not connect to any display device. On windows when I use the docking station in the performance monitor, I can see nvidia gpu being used. For instance, when I play a video, not much gets changed in CPU, but nvidia GPU usage spikes up to 60-70% and then stays to about 20%. When I pause it goes back to around 1%.
On Linux the behaviour is very different. When I do some graphics activity like mpv or youtube, nvidia-smi says gpu is idle, and the CPU usage shoots up. There are a lot of DisplayLink threads that process the workload on the CPU I assume.
So the question I have is, if it can use dGPU on Windows, why doesn't it do the same on Linux?
