Alphahelix Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi Uno, It is baked into the GPU itself. This is done to be able to provide video-feed through USB-C. But to minimize the complexity during production they leave the USB controller in the GPU even if they do not provide the graphics card a USB connector. Or at least this is what I think is happening. I am not in the GPU business but I makes sense to a have a basic platform and if only 10-15% of all graphic cards in a generation is without a USB connector and the controller is relative cheap, they left it in. /Alphahelix Quote Link to comment
Uno Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi Alphahelix, I think, this makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your time. Uno Quote Link to comment
