  1. Custom pc with an Extra gpu that seems to be taking the place of the better GPU


    My pc is using the internal gpu rather than the much more superior 3060 ti. They're both being used but the internal one is being used much more. I'm very confused right now

  2. Expose discrete GPU selection to better support Freesync hack using NVidia GPU.

    My answer to NVidia's concerns : If they could support Adaptive Sync / FreeSync as well as GSync and allow the customer to choose which output to use, then there are no more concerns. Because if GSync is so much better as they claim, then those who
    want to spend the extra money on a proprietary display can do so and the rest of us can use FreeSync. It should be a clear choice to anybody who has the money to buy the GSync display, if it's that much better. To me however, FreeSync is obviously the better
    technology and the better choice and it's behaviour is within acceptable parameters.

    "If not, I would suggest getting a G-Sync monitor and sticking with NVidia GPUs going forward." That statement is exactly my concern and many peoples concern, and it suggests to me that NVidia are acting anti-competitively, at least under Australian Law,
    in that they have created a market situation that places an unnecessary financial burden upon the customer to change to their competitor. And also make it impossible to use the competing adaptive sync technology. We are now at the point were we have no choice
    when it comes to GPU's. NVidia are the only supplier of performant graphics cards. And we are being forced to buy their GSync modules too.

    It's true, people can't afford to change both GPU and Display regularly. Now we have a situation where our GPU and Display are locked together. That's madness, there's absolutely no point to it.

    Edit: For example, I have an AMD R9 390 GPU, I have to upgrade in a month or two. I will also need a new display next year. If I get the 2080 RTX, I have to buy a GSync display. I absolutely do not want a GSync display, I want a FreeSync display. But I don't
    have a choice with NVidia's current policy.

    Hi Michael

    Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    Expand the Display Adapters section

    You should see your GPU listed, along with possibly an integrated graphics option

    If that is no listed there:

    Boot into BIOS (start your system, then on the manufacturers screen, repeatedly press the appropriate key (usually F2) to enter BIOS

    Under System Information, you should find your GPU listed

    If you still cannot find the GPU listing, what is the Make and exact Model No. of your PC - that will be printed on a sticker on the bottom casing . ..

    better gpu/gaming experience

    i thought the 700 would be better with the better hardware like cpu n ram. is the adreno gpu better than the 700's then?
