I use a mini PC to play casual games, but sometimes I like to play games with minimal graphics, like Baldur's Gate 3 or Citys Skyline 2.Recently, I started playing Path of Exile 2, and I'm having a smooth experience thanks to Lossless Scaling, which I discovered at the right time. However, I still suffer from frame drops when the game gets complex, and eventually I decided to try an eGPU system.
I currently have a second-hand Radeon RX 6600 and have purchased a new power supply.I'm waiting for the eGPU dock from minisforum and the M.2 to OQlink adapter to arrive (international shipping).
I checked the software and saw an update to Lossless Scaling that supports dual graphics cards. It's still experimental, but it should work. I want to try it, but I have a few questions.
First, will the built-in graphics of the mini PC (in my case the Radeon 780M) be able to act as a sub-GPU? People seem sceptical about this, but I'm still using the 780M for game rendering and lossless scaling, so I'm expecting it to do a good job as a sub-GPU.
Secondly, I'd like to know how to connect monitors to use a dual-GPU setup in a system consisting of a mini PC and an eGPU. I originally planned to connect the mini PC, eGPU, monitor in this order, but since I just have the mini PC and monitor connected now, would it make sense to connect an additional eGPU to the mini PC and have a dual graphics setup?If anyone knows, please leave a comment.
Thanks.

One person has done this using a 3080 thunderbolt eGPU for render and laptop's 4050 for handling LSFG. #1274988175575748719 message
(Note that LS has supported this for over a year).
Using a 6600 eGPU with a 780m iGPU has a lot of potential to work well, at least for 1440p and below. No guarantees it will work, but your chances are probably pretty good if you configure things properly (have a look at the ?dual GPU guide, though it will be different than your setup)
