Windows 10: Integrated vs Dedicated GPU Query

Hi,

I recently started playing a bit of online poker (Governor of poker 3) via firefox quantum browser and I notice it makes my laptop fan whir up a lot which I thought was strange as I have a fairly high spec machine and the game seems fairly basic.

I have an i7 quad core processor with 16GB RAM.

Having Checked task manager I see it's the GPU which is mostly running at in excess of 80%, and its solely using the integrated intel GPU and not the dedicated nvidia GPU at all.

I wondered if it would be better if the dedicated graphics was being used and if so how to make firefox do that.

Or perhaps it's just normal.

Having googled around it seems that getting to the bottom of what your machine is doing by way of GPU usage and whether it's switching when appropriate is a bit of an enigma, so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

:)

 

AMD DEDICATED MEMORY

MY pavilion notebook has integrated as well as dedicated graphics.

integrated intel hd 4400

dedicated amd radeon 8670m 2gb

..now the question is ,dedicated memory showing only 128 mb ie. integrated graphics....why not amd memory.

share system memory should be 1.7 gb and dedicated should be 2 gb ...i dont know what is wrong ..all drivers are installed correctly and uptodate.both gpu driver are ok.

total memory used to be arround 3.7 gb

 

Windows 10 Won't use NVIDIA GPU, Uses Integrated Graphics Instead! (LAPTOP)

I have a similar (same) problem with my ASUS laptop.

My Laptop: ASUS F550L laptop

SPECS:

Windows: Windows 10

Processor: Intel Core i7-4500MQ CPU @ 1.8GHz

RAM: 8 GB

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M

Integrated GPU: ?

DirectX Version: ?

I have tried the steps listed above but they did not resolve the problem.

I have attempted to download an updated driver but my driver was reported as 'up to date'.

What do I do now?
