Overwatch not accessing dGPU when Displaylink Hub plugged in

Hello,

Probably none of the options you listed.
If the only thing not working now is their app, then the issue is more likely to be the app...
The OS and drivers care about functionality and you report the system behaving correctly.
These apps should be non-essential for functionality (per Microsoft requirement) as the driver should be able to work without it.

What's most likely is that the app was conceived to report about directly connected displays and, wasn't conceived to have zero directly connected displays. Native support for DisplayLink USB indirect displays was introduced as standard in Windows 10 v1607.

Kind regards,
Alban

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but my question relates to the OP. I am running a similar setup as OP with a I5-7400 and iGPU along with a nVidia GTX 1060 3gb dGPU. I had to manually enable the iGPU in bios so they both run in tandem.

That being said, how do I confirm that encoding has been offloaded from the CPU onto the iGPU? When I look at task manager performance tab the iGPU appears dormant, no activity. However, the CPU used to peg at 100% while gaming and now it dips into the 70's and 80's once I activated the iGPU so I have a suspicion the iGPU is engaged. Is there another way to confirm?

Edit: Forgot to include that I'm running a Dell D6000 via USB-C on Windows 10 (whatever latest public version is) and dual monitors at 1080P.
