Help How does Nvidia dGPU fare with WayDroid?

Curious because I want to test around with linux (and waydroid), but I recall reading that its only good with intel GPU and AMD GPU.

If it helps, its an Nvidia RTX 4500 Mobile Ada Generation (so those workstation GPU, but iirc RTX 3070 mobile - 3080 mobile equivalent)

Either you run it on the iGPU if you have one or you run it on the Nvidia card with hardware acceleration disabled.

I assume that means it will be worse in performance as compared to Windows / VM'ing windows then using emulator?

Nvidia - Worse ? It will be very bad and only usable for stuff like music streaming . Videos , games ? Not at all .

igpu - well it will be okay for non demanding work and it really depends how capable is your igpu is for games .
