Integraded GPU for screen, dedicated GPU for GPGCU?

I'm wondering if it's possible to use "hybrid" graphics on a custom built PC, if there is an entry in the wiki or anywhere I would like to read about it. So far, I have read through the wiki here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/hybrid_graphics, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GPGPU#CUDA and I have not found what I am looking for.

Currently I have a 8700K, which functions great (even better) than my NVIDIA 760 GTX for every day computing, especially with the robust Linux drivers. However, it is not ideal for everything. I am looking into using the GTX for GPGCU capabilities for bioinformatics, and works better on the GTX (at least on Windows).

Thus far I have not been able to figure out a configuration that allows me to use my NVIDIA card, without having it attached to a monitor. Whenever I have the NVIDIA drivers installed, the signal does not come through the integrated graphics HDMI port. I have had to remove the drivers at this point.

Thanks

You have to configure Xorg to use the intel card for display, see the following recentish thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1767428
