    How do i make Windows Default to the iGPU for everything except GPU Intensive Tasks, such...


    I have been tearing my Head apart for Days trying to figure this problem out. I'd like to use the iGPU for everything besides Gaming so that my Laptop would:- Not heat up to infinity C° - Save EnergySince i'd like my Laptop to run longer times without Charging it constantly. And i don't just want to turn the dGPU off. I still want to keep it on.Up until now, everyones been saying to just manually override Every. Single. Application. Which is way to much. It used to be like that until Windows, after reinstalling it switched the dGPU number from 1 to 0

    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 recognized as GPU 0 and iGPU as GPU 1

    I have a laptop with a dGPU. Will there be problems if the dGPU is recognized as GPU 0 (and iGPU as GPU 1) in Task Manager on a fresh install?

    GPU turning off randomly, PC on iGPU running fine.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    There has been a development since I posted this, my monitor lost signal today when it was connected to the iGPU and the discrete GPU was disconnected. Is there anything I should do apart from RMAing the motherboard?
