I have a Asus FX505DT-WB52 that has an integrated gpu on the processor and then an Nvidia 1650. And I'm wanting to disable the amd graphics and let my Nvidia card take over is this possible?
The specs of the system I'm asking about is also located in the specs on my profile. Thank you for your help :)
Hi, you should be able to do this for example:
How to Set Nvidia Graphics Card As Default in Windows 10
Consider that if you disabled your internal card completely you might not have a useful display in Safe Mode.
How to Force Graphics Options in PC Games with NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel Graphics
- includes a link where you can read about Nvidia Optimus-
If you have a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus technology — that is, both NVIDIA and Intel graphics — this is the same place you can choose which applications will use the NVIDIA hardware and which will use the Intel hardware.
That helps. But when I disable the amd card I can't use the Nvidia control panel because I'm not using a second monitor so I'll just leave it as is at least I can play the games that are usually on my desktop on my laptop :) thank you for your help :)
Are there settings inside amds graphic control panel that shouldn't be messed with? Like are there settings in the control panel that my amd gpu isn't compatible with?
Why do you want to disable the IG? The two isn't better than one?
If you are successful to switch to single (sometimes discreet) GPU card you might as well need to switch to desktop version of the driver , this would allow for more options on control panel and better handling , you might as well use DDU to uninstall previous driver to remove Optimus along with it .
On a side notice , dual graphics mode removes alot of overheads from the high performance GPU such as Windows interface rendering and video rendering leaving high performance GPU free from bloating . The only side effect is that the integrated GPU becomes responsible for handling refresh rate so might cap your fps to its ceiling , so if you have one of those GPUs capable of rendering top notch games at 140+ fps , the integrated GPU might cap it down to 60 or 120 depending on what its capable of handling .
I can use the nvidia control panel when I prefer the nvidia card without disabling the integrated gpu. It might be different from your setup.
It's almost the same as dalchina's second link: Open the nvidia control panel. To see if the nvidia card is being used, open the nvidia control panel, at the top left of the window click on desktop and select "display the graphics processor activity icon in the notification area". The icon is gray when the graphics card is not used and when it is used, it is with several colors, red-green ...
Still in the nvidia control panel, go to manage 3D settings, global settings then under preferred graphics processor select "high performance nvidia processor" apply and restart the computer. Now the nvidia graphics card will always be used.
Alright thank you everyone for your help :)
