I plugged in the eGPU and tried to boot with the configuration of eGPU + Nvidia Driver, and module_blacklist=i915
Since I think it wants the i915 module to use the iGPU for the display manager.
If I unblacklist i915 and allow it to boot with the Nvidia driver and the eGPU plugged in, I get no application lag and here is the output:
And I don't get the application lag, since the Nvidia driver is installed and I have the eGPU plugged in. But if I were to boot with the eGPU unplugged, I will get the application startup lag. And, I'd like to not have the eGPU plugged in all of the time. Thereby, leveraging i915 for the iGPU and Nvidia for the eGPU. The problem is that if the Nvidia driver is installed and the eGPU is not plugged in (like, I'm working without it), then I get all of the application lag.
For example, here is a video with the eGPU plugged in with the Nvidia driver. Chrome starts up normally. Then as soon as I unplugged the eGPU and try to launch Chrome again you will see the rendering distortion and Chrome doesn't render:
