Integrated vs Dedicated GPU Query
Hi,
I recently started playing a bit of online poker (Governor of poker 3) via firefox quantum browser and I notice it makes my laptop fan whir up a lot which I thought was strange as I have a fairly high spec machine and the game seems fairly basic.
I have an i7 quad core processor with 16GB RAM.
Having Checked task manager I see it's the GPU which is mostly running at in excess of 80%, and its solely using the integrated intel GPU and not the dedicated nvidia GPU at all.
I wondered if it would be better if the dedicated graphics was being used and if so how to make firefox do that.
Or perhaps it's just normal.
Having googled around it seems that getting to the bottom of what your machine is doing by way of GPU usage and whether it's switching when appropriate is a bit of an enigma, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
