PSA: Use integrated graphics to save VRAM of nvidia GPU

All modern mobiles CPUs and many desktop ones too have integrated graphics. While iGPUs are useless for gaming and AI you can use them to run desktop apps and save precious VRAM for cuda tasks. Just connect display to motherboard output and done. You will be surprised how much VRAM modern apps eat, especially on Windows.

This is the end result with all desktop apps launched, dozen of browser tabs etc.

I have appended `nvidia_drm.modeset=0` to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in `/etc/default/grub` but this should not be strictly necessary. Apparently there should be ridiculously complicated way to forbid Xorg from ever touching the GPU but I am fine with 4 Mb wasted.

Is it just me or has the subreddit been over run with the same questions?

Between this account and my other account I’ve been with this subreddit for a while.

At the start this subreddit was filled with people asking real questions about things. Like tips or tricks for making unique workflows or understanding something. Recommend nodes to help with something particularly they’re trying to achieve. Maybe help trying to find a certain models after spending time searching and not able to find it. Or recommend videos or tutorials for something.

Now since Zimg or that what it seems like. Maybe Qwen it kinda started. Now it’s nothing but. “Best this, best that or best everything. How to make adult content this or that”..No actual real question I can try and answer.

The best question to me is” I’m new and don’t know anything and wanting to jump straight to using high end complex and advanced models or workflows without learning the very basics. So show me how to use it”


This could just be me. Or has anyone else that been doing this awhile have the same feeling?
