But it doesn't give you any benefit.  For the window manager and most application, you would never notice the difference.  It might even be slower using the AMD gpu because of all the copies back and forth.

That might actually explain why running "time tree /" took longer on the terminal launched on the graphics card than the one launched on the integrated graphics.

But the root question remains:

What do I do with extra hardware ? Is there no pragmatic use under Linux ?

In Windows there is gaming, but that doesn't make sense in Linux. I was hoping to hook up all my displays to this discrete graphics card and get better performance.

But as you say that is not going to happen.

So what can I use this for ? Any ideas?


If you can find an application that uses a lot of 3D rendering (which usually means a game), you can compare the frame rate between running it with each option.

I play a lot of games under Windows, but I have no idea about games that are graphics intensive in Linux.

What if I run a graphics bench-marking software rather than a game ?
