Displaylink dongle replacing GPU on i5-11400F?

[hgpuke]

Hi!
I just bought a computer running Windows 10 Home, powered by an Intel i5-11400F CPU. The computer has had its dedicated graphics card taken out (they are very expensive these days and some people therefore rob a new gaming computer off its graphics card and sell what is left to other persons not needing a gaming machine - like myself). As the "F" in the Intel CPU suggests, the CPU doesn't come with integrated graphics. While waiting for a proper GPU to arrive from abroad, could I use a Displaylink powered USB-adapter as a substitution for a GPU?

DisplayLink devices are in essence 'virtual' graphics processing units that rely on the host system's internal physical graphics processing unit in order to generate the image shown on the DisplayLink connected displays.

As a result, what you describe will not work.

OK, thanks!
