I have a laptop with Intel HD Graphics 630 for the iGPU and a NVIDIA GTX 1060 for the dGPU. My laptop's screen is wired to the iGPU, and my HDMI port is wired to my dGPU. My HDMI port allows for GSync if I had a monitor for it.
I've gotten High Sierra running on this laptop and had graphics acceleration going on the iGPU no problem, but my HDMI port doesn't work, and I can't seem to figure out how to get the NVIDIA web driver working properly; I'm also at a bit of a loss as to whether or not this kind of set-up and drivers could work.
Just for clarification, I am not trying to attempt Optimus or GPU switching. I want the iGPU to continue powering the laptop screen, and the dGPU to power the HDMI port. The ability to choose what GPU to render graphics on would be a bonus.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- Can macOS handle two different GPUs with two outputs?
- Does macOS have some way of telling applications what GPU to run on?
- Can I install the latest NVIDIA Web Driver on High Sierra?
- Can the NVIDIA web driver run on an NVIDIA graphics card that isn't the primary GPU?
- Does the NVIDIA web driver support mobile NVIDIA chips? My dGPU is specifically (as shown under Linux lspci) NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile]
