I know of PRIME, which can be used to offload work to dedicated GPU's.

I've also found this article that doesn't add nvidia to the mix. But in general it seems to work the same for both as long as you have the drivers proper for your hardware installed
Isn’t the GPU used for the application defined by the monitor it is opened on and on which GPU this monitor is then connected to?
The output and the renderer are separate and configurable concepts.
I don't know, could be. But I don't want to always put the monitor cables into another port. I thought there maybe could be a software way to do this or only use the GPU for the really intense tasks.
When using open source drivers offloading should be automatic depending on demand. You can make it explicit with DRI_PRIME=0 or DRI_PRIME=1. You'll have to check which is which.
OP is it the 7700 non-x 65w tdp version? Asking because I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU from 5600x to the 7700non-x and have the same gpu. I was actually wondering how throwing that integrated graphics into the mix would work so thanks for asking this and looking forward to your findings if you don't mind posting however you end up solving this.
Yes, I have the non x version. I think the one with x has a higher tdp. I'll probably look into this this weekend. Hopefully, I'll find something out that's helpful to you.
I typically use DRI_PRIME for ogl and VK_ICD_FILENAMES for vulkan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
