    Intel/Amd switchable graphics problem


    hey, i need some help. I bought a HP 15-bs021nm a moth ago, and it has intel hd 520 and Radeon 520 graphics.
    I want to play games with it, but the problem is it uses intel hd instad of the radeon graphics.
    How do i set radeon to be the default graphics adapter?

    Hello, hentcc456. Welcome to Windows TenForums.

    Does it show up in Device Manager? WinKey/X > Device Manager.

    If not, then you need to find and install the driver for it.

    Configure Switchable Graphics. Right click desktop should give access to the AMD/Radeon control panel >
    https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c03048374
    Check by running the application, and looking at the Task Manager > Performance Tab > GPU 0, and GPU 1 > clicking on one of those gives you more details as to what is being used on what GPU.

    Every bios menu is different. For HP products it may similar to this:
    Repetitively click the F10 during reboot > open the bios > advanced tab > device configurations > disable hybrid graphics

    Turning off hybrid graphics may reduce the number of usable displays as well as battery life. As long as these are not potential problems then you can turn off the intel graphics and have always on AMD or NVIDIA

    This is a method not using the BIOS: HP Notebook PCs - Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs | HP® Customer Support

    The other option may be to right click disable the Intel graphics driver.

    It does not matter whether it matches or not, the illustration maybe out of date. It's the overall principle to get to some sort of Graphics options.

    So what do you have ? You must have some sort of AMD/Graphics Control Panel somewhere.

    You can also look thru any HP installed applications. That may give access to some UEFI functions.

    "The other option may be to right click disable the Intel graphics driver. "
    Definitely not, there is a common video output on these Laptops, it is not a Desktop with a separate Graphics Card and video outputs.
    There is usually nothing in the UEFI/BIOS on such Laptops. By all means have a look.

    Use AMD Radeon Settings. You may want to update your graphics driver (get one from AMD, not HP.) if you are missing such feature.
