  1. Has Windows 10 broken support for switchable GPUs AMD?


    Hi,

    My laptop has an AMD FX-9830P processor with integrated Radeon R7 Graphics. It also has a dedicated GPU, the Radeon RX460.
    Previously I could switch between them using the "Swtichable Graphics" option in the Radeon software. That option was removed in Adrenalin 2020 update so there is no way to do so using the Radeon software.
    Browsing the forums here and on the AMD forums it seems like the way is to change the setting to "high performance" in Windows Graphics Settings. However, this still only presents me with the option of using the R7 card even though the RX460 is visible in Device Manager.

    How can it be that Windows clearly recognises a graphics card but there is no way for me to use it? Is there a way to manually choose it?

    Thanks,

    AMD Switchable Graphics: How to switch GPU?

    Hi,

    I just upgraded my AMD Graphics driver on my notebook which has AMD Switchable (dual) Graphics.

    The new GUI application is completely different, I can't seem to find where can I assign which GPU is to run the given application?

    This is a notebook and I don't game a lot, I want manual control over what can use the high-performance GPU.

    In the past, with the old 2018 AMD graphics app, I could easily select this but now I'm lost. Please help me find this setting!

    Windows 10 certainly does support switchable graphics with Intel and Nvidia.
    Looks like they are just starting to incorporate this in to Windows 10 settings.

    The Windows 10 settings for AMD looks to be exactly same as Nvidia.

    This is AMD/AMD:


    This is mine which is Intel/Nvidia, Windows 10 settings way:
    Attachment 270317
    The Nvidia Control Panel way is better, more options. But basically does the same job.
