Windows 10: how do i make my second gpu work at the same time as my other one

I have just put in another GPU, now I have a powercolor AMD Radeon 5500xt and a AMD Radeon swft 309. the swft 309 it working because I have been using it for a while and also because also when I play games I have the Radeon software up and can see it working. but whenever I check on my other GPU it says the utilization is 0 and everything is 0. I tried to turn on MGPU but the setting wouldn't come up and I don't know how to fix it,. I am also on windows 11 if that makes difference.

Inactivate second gpu sli

Hey gyus.

I have the system as listed below:

Mobo: Asus striker II extreme sli
Ram: 4 gb 1333 Mhz
cpu: core 2 duo E8400
Ssd 120 gb
2 x gtx 550 ti

So the problem is that i can see everywhere that my computer recognize my 2 gpus. But when i am trying to run my favorite game ( path of exile) it says that my second card is inactive.
I have tried many solutions but i cannot work my second gpu.
Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!

 

Still not working


Hi Brink,

I am a Systems Engineer (entry-Level) and I am having this issue. I have followed all the steps that were listed, even created a new user account. This is for a customer. When I followed the steps, before creating a new user, i kept changing the path to point to the correct place. The second time, and following, I ended up getting the 2 SID's, one with the .bak. Followed the steps to delete the regular one and rename the .bak. restarted and still signs in as a temp profile. So I ended up cfreating a new user and still get the same Temp profile issue. Could you suggest something? Thanks.

 

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.
