Windows 10: How to set Nvidiga GPU as default GPU for Windows 10 build 19042

Hello,I have Lenovo ThinkPad T15 as a workstation. I have integrated Intel GPU and Nvidia MX 330 dedicated GPU. I tried to change the default GPU in Nvidia Control Panel, but it told me that windows os now manages the selection of the graphics processor. I can change GPU app by selecting them in Windows Setting.Is there any way how to&nbs

:)

 

Is there a way to force a program to use a secondary GPU?

I have 2 GPU's (Nvidia GTX 970 and 1080) and I want to force a program to use the 1080 for certain programs/games. Going to Settings>System>Display>Graphics Settings should give me the option to switch GPU's. Unfortunately it does not list both of my GPU's
nor does it allow me to change to another one, only the default GPU is chosen (the 970). This is a desktop computer and I have tried the Nvidia control panel and UEFI settings without much luck. If I tried selecting a program to run on my 1080 (through the
Nvidia control panel), it would still run it on the 970. I have tried switching the GPU's around with not much luck there either. If I can suggest to Microsoft the option in the Graphics Settings to list both GPU's for selection, that would be great. Otherwise
I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

 

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.

 

Windows 10 - Software is not using dedicated GPU

This is a trial and error step.

It may or may not work.

Typically Windows will install default Microsoft drivers if the Intel GPU drivers are uninstalled.

The performance is better with computer manufacturer drivers if it were the only device.

If you can disable the Intel GPU then maybe only the Nvidia GPU would be in use.

There was no BIOS setting.

Open device manager > click view > click show hidden devices > expand display adapters > look for the Intel GPU > right click disable device

See if this then forces the use of Nvidia GPU for the software.
