Use of any integrated as a second card for gaming

Intel iQ – Boost for gaming performance on Windows 10 with DirectX 12

It looks like SLI/Crossfire by software, right?

Sure you don't get the same performance but it can be interesting to take advantage of graphics from different brands.

I wonder if it is planned to implement something like this in OpenGL/Vulkan.

…and it's one of those things that you can't explain why they weren't done before.
Now we have to see if it has small print, read "requires hardware compatibility".
Yes, we already had AMD's dual graphics and NVIDIA's hybrid graphics... but, if it's as they say, things look promising.

Now, as for the news on IQ, put a picture of Minecraft, that still happens... but of LOL???? :facepalm:

Man, they put games that require good graphics there to illustrate :-P.
On paper it looks very good and all it is to take advantage of hardware that was not being used. Zero monetary cost, for the user, hence the lack of interest, I suppose.
Integrated graphics have been medio decent for a while now, it's time to take advantage of them.

This is true, I bought a Dell with integrated graphics 3 months ago and I must say I'm not complaining.
