Run your PC using a system that combines an APU and a dedicated graphics card. When handling game graphics, both the built-in GPU and the separate GPU can operate together, potentially boosting overall performance.

You're certain you can allocate a GPU through the NVIDIA control panel for gaming tasks. I'm not familiar with AMD's setup.

They cannot collaborate. Each should handle tasks independently.

For games like SLI or Crossfire, all cards need to match. If you need the APU for another purpose than the cards themselves, it's possible, but they won't be able to handle the same task as the original game.
