i use the 1460 dock for my Auros 15G YC with 3080.
i have the dock connected to my computer via type C usb(not thunderbolt) i have 2 monitors conected via displayport, and they all work, but my question is that when i connect this way am i then stuck with the intel graphics or does it use the the nvidia ?
Neither. The CSV-1460 uses DisplayLink (software and USB) to do video.
You can connect it to a Type-A port and get the same result.
I am unfamiliar with the DisplayLink software or how it interacts with the GPU. I suppose it’s possible to have a GPU render to a RAM buffer and have DisplayLink output that? GPUs are faster when rendering to their own VRAM. DisplayLink also has to compress the info (12 Gbps for 4K 60Hz 8bpc RGB) down to USB 3.0 speed (5 Gbps).
Maybe you can go to the https://www.displaylink.com website to find answers.
A real display connected to a real GPU should appear in the Device Manager (view by connection) as a display device with the GPU device as the display’s parent.
