Now, should I connect the monitor to the motherboard video-out or
should I use GPU’s output? Suppose the OS (Debian GNU/Linux in this
case) is fully configured to utilize the GPUs i.e. drivers etc. are
set
up. Will the graphic system be able to utilize the GPUs irrespective
of
where I have connected the monitor?
I am not an expert in Wayland, but X is able to utilize any GPU in any
number. If it does not this automatically you have to manually
configure the server. There are numerous guides on the internet.
Okay. So, this is possible. But my doubt remains. See below.
Last but not least - why many GPUs but one monitor? It makes no sense.
It
should use the one where the monitor is attached, but usually monitors
have
more inputs, which you can utilize.
I’ll be using multiple monitors but my original doubt was this. If I am
not connecting a monitor to GPU output, will I not be utilizing its
power for (this) display? Assuming, I have configured X to utilize all
the GPUs for number crunching. Should it make any difference where I am
connect the monitor? What will be the highest available resolution?
Will
it depend on where I have connected?
