Dual-booting Mint and Windows, with a GeForce GTX 1070 GPU.
Normally there's no issues, but in certain games I get really bad performance on Mint even after lowering the settings all the way, while on Windows those same games great performance while playing on higher settings. If I get an RX Vega 56 (equivalent-ish GPU) to be used with Mint exclusively, can I turn off/deactivate the GTX 1070, and only use it on Windows? Could I also use the 1070 as a GPU in a Windows VM while the Vega is still being used for the native OS? That's what 'Passthrough' is?
