    Laptop is using igpu instead of dedicated graphics


    my laptop has an ipgu and a dedicated one but it's using the integrated graphics, it switches to the dedicated gpu when under high load but I want it to always use the dedicated gpu and never the igpu. How can I do this?

    Games and applications are using iGPU instead of Dedicated GPU

    Helloo, I have been facing this issue from 2 weeks now, I usually run games and editing software with Dedicated GPU (Nvidia)

    Brand-> Laptop - HP

    Model-> cx0140tx

    But now even if I force an application to use this gpu it works on Integrated GPU (Intel® UHD Graphics 630). I dont know if GPU is giving output on low power, but PhysX Indicator never shows on apps if its turned on, tried reinstalling graphics driver, updating
    iGPU Driver, forcing apps to use it, nothing worked. Please help

    Laptop is using igpu instead of dedicated graphics

    Gaming Laptop uses dedicated GPU on a non-existent monitor

    So I have a bit of a complicated problem. Up until recently, I've been doing good with my Laptop. It has an igpu and a dedicated gpu. I had 2 monitors, the one directly connected to my laptop was run by the igpu, and the external was run by the dedicated
    gpu. I am on vacation, and don't have access to my second monitor, and now, when I try to run a game with my dedicated graphics card, it will try to pull up the game, but close it, since the dedicated gpu is set to my second monitor. How do I change this?
    My Geforce Experience app isn't working by the way.
