Hey, this might sound kinda dumb, but let's skip that for now. If I have a graphics card that's connected to the motherboard and it has power, but my monitor is using the built in vga connection on the motherboard, can I still use that video card for something else? Or do I have to be using it for video output?

I'm installing Cuda and at the moment I'm not using the card. Would I still be able to leverage the power of the card?

Pretty sure, yeah. For example passthrough often uses a secondary GPU for supplying graphics acceleration to the VM. There are solutions such as PRIME that appear to supply this functionality for compute

@KAutumnrain I may or may not have only used this kind of video card for password c--care. Lots of care. What's that over there?!?
