My desktop computer was built for low-noise/low-energy over performance. It has Ryzen 7 5700G intergrated graphics card, which I am told is pretty OK for everyday use. I don't have any modern AA games, I am more like to play some older games, things like "City of Heroes" or "Shadow Run Returns".
I quite like to play using one monitor while streaming a movie or TV show on a second monitor (actually, a TV set). And that works except but occasionally I the streamed show begins to stutter. It seems to be mostly The Walking Dead that does this for some reason.
As I happen to have a spare Nvidia Geforce GT1030, I figured, why not install that and use the Ryzem APU for the main monitor and the Nvidia for the TV? That too seems to work, except when it doesn't. As the stutter is sort of random, I am not sure I can verify if having both APU and GPU running provides any benefit. Monitoring tools like MWMonitor or NZXT Cam seem to get totrally confused by this setup.
So, the question is, in your expert opinion, is there any point running both the Ryzen and the Nvidia cards or let the Ryzen do its thing unmolested?
