APU and GPU working together?
I have a ryzen 3 2200g and a gtx 1030 2gb. Is it possible to get the GPU on the AMD processor to work together with the nvidia graphics card to boost performance?

but the 1030 is so much stronger than the amd apu, not worth it

There are workarounds that might allow that, but the technology is so unsupported it doesn't worth the effort even googling it.

I don't believe it's possible in your case. There was a period of time where certain Radeon HD cards would work with certain AMD APUs, but I believe that was somewhat short-lived.

It was around for a few years, tried it with an A10-6800k and a Radeon HD 6670. Frame-time was horrendous. Got better performance running the 6670 by itself.

It's theoretically possible under DX12, but afaik is not supported from any vendor or chip-maker.

Yes, you have to disable APU in your BIOS.

Actually, it's better left on. Unlike glorious dedicated NVidia product, that little thingy under the AMD APU hood can be used for real-time video encoding. Recording games, streaming games, accelerating video editing. Little useful things AMD does when NVdon't.

I think, GT 1030 has relatively the same performance as Ryzen 2400g RX Vega 11 (subject to the use of dual-channel memory. Preferably fast).

That is correct the integrated videochip of the 2400g does compete with a 1030, which is rather impressive.
The 2200g videochip is somewhat weaker though.
I'd have dropped the 1030 and gotten the 2400g instead. Probably would have been cheaper.

OP asking for AMD+nvidia GPU's working together like with Lucid Hydra.
What you linked does not boost performance, it just a workaround for FreeSync on nvidia gpu's.

Are you guys talking about the 1030 with DDR4 memory or GDDR5 memory? I have the one with GDDR5 and it's significantly faster than the 1030 with DDR4 memory
