    having issues with multi GPU

    I’m trying to offload certain apps to my iGPU on the second screen, using the new graphics settings in the recent win 10 release. the issue is it’s only showing my 1070. lists it as both power saving GPU, and
    high performance GPU.

    I’ve been fiddling for a while now with no joy, and i’m really hoping one of you guys has an idea they can suggest to sort this!

    I can extend onto the second screen no probs with it plugged into the iGPU, but the 1070 is still listed as both power saving GPU and high performance GPU.

    Are there requirements for this? certain level of iGPU for it to work?

    Thanks

    Edit - setting the secondary screen connected to the iGPU to be the "main" display in graphics settings makes my iGPU show as both power saving and high performance GPU, I just can't seem to get them
    to be one and not the other.

    dGPU is listed as power saving GPU instead of iGPU

    Yes, I uninstalled Nvidia drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode and then installed latest drivers. No change. It looks like the ability to specify which GPU is considered high performance or power saving or to simply choose a specific GPU was added in the dev channel more than a year ago but hasn't made it into an update Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20190
