Thunderbolt 3 connector and Display

Matt041198 · Jul 7, 2016

Hi, I'm planning to build a PC with a motherboard with thunderbolt 3, a 6700k and a GTX 1070. The thing is I want to hook up this PC to a Apple Thunderbolt Display, and I've found that StarTech.com Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt adapter, which is an adapter that does exactly that. If I were to connect the ATD to this adapter through the thunderbolt adapter to the thunderbolt 3 port of the motherboard, who would handle the graphics processing, the gtx 1070 or the onboard graphics of the 6700k? Is there any way to force the 1070 to handle the graphics? (Sorry for bad English)

The igpu and there is no way to use the dgpu unless you plug a monitor into that.

What if it's a X99 system , will then graphics been driven by the GPU?

X99 has no igpu so either you get a dgpu or you get no display. Thunderbolt on those mobos are data only.

I see, I think I'll just use a Asus ThunderboltEX II card anyway, thanks for your time anyway!
