    My PC "refuses" to use dedicated GPU...


    Context: I've been searching for a solution to this over like 2 and a half years now. My PC model is an Acer Aspire 5600U, I know it's a little bit on the -older- side, I mean, we purchased it back in 2013, but aside from gaming, for things like school, homework, watching videos, etc, it's still in a very healthy state, so I believe it still has at least a couple years of useful life until we have to inevitably get a newer computer. It has two graphics cards:-The integrated one, an Intel HD Graphics 4000-The dedicated one, an NVIDIA GeForce 630MThere was a time, I think 2013-2016, when my PC w

    My PC "refuses" to use dedicated GPU... 8fc74c05-82ae-48fa-9f7e-31638ceac217?upload=true.png

    I had no clue what to do so I went into my BIOS to change it and there was integrated and switchable listed I picked switchable and still nothing now I'm here hoping somebody can help me.

    I'm running windows 10 home version 1903, integrated gpu=intel graphics 3000, dedicated=AMD radeon graphics HD 7670M

    About GPU dedicating.

    Hello
    웅황,


    The feature that you're looking for in Windows 10 is not available. I suggest that you check with your graphics manufacturer if forcing an app/game to use a dedicated GPU to each task is available with their software.

    Let us know if you have any other concerns.
