Windows 10: Question about Display port connected to Intel GPU

I am a laptop user which has two gpus intel UHD graphics 630 & Geforce GTX 1650. I am trying to get true stretch resolution in a game named valorant but to do that I need resolution option in Nvidia Control Panel which I am not getting. I have tried many fixes shown in youtube but nothing seems to work. Also in the Nvidia control panel it shows display adapter is connected to Intel graphics card. So I wanted to know if there is any option to use nvidia gpu instead of intel in display or do I have to connect display cable to nvidia gpu & also if it is safe to do so?

:)

 

How do I make the primary display adaptor as the dedicated GPU instead of the intel integrated on my laptop?

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

To make the dedicated GPU the primary display adapter on your HP Pavilion 15-e033tx laptop, you can follow these steps. Note that the process involves both software settings within Windows and potentially BIOS settings, though the latter may not always be available on all laptops.

Method 1: Using Device Manager

1. Open Device Manager:
   
   • Press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter.
     
2. Disable Integrated Graphics:
   
   • Expand the Display adapters section.
     
   • Right-click on the Intel integrated graphics and select Disable device.
     
   • Confirm any warnings that appear.
     

Method 2: BIOS Settings

1. Access BIOS:
   
   • Restart your laptop and press the appropriate key (usually F2, F10, Delete, or Esc) to enter the BIOS setup. The exact key may vary, so refer to your laptop's manual if needed.
     
2. Change Primary GPU:
   
   • Navigate to the Advanced or Integrated Peripherals section.
     
   • Look for settings related to Graphics Configuration or Primary Display.
     
   • Set the primary display to PEG/PCI or a similar option that prioritizes the dedicated GPU over the integrated one.
     
   • Save and exit the BIOS.
     

Method 3: Windows Graphics Settings

1. Open Graphics Settings:
   
   • Go to Settings > System > Display.
     
   • Scroll down and click on Graphics settings.
     
2. Set Preferred GPU:
   
   • Under Graphics performance preference, select the application you want to configure.
     
   • Click Options and choose High performance to use the dedicated GPU.
     

Troubleshooting

• Check for Driver Issues:
  
  • Ensure that both Intel and AMD drivers are up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause conflicts.
    
• BIOS Limitations:
  
  • If your BIOS does not provide an option to change the primary GPU, you may be limited to using software settings within Windows.
    
• Windows Basic Display Adapter Issue:
  
  • If disabling the integrated GPU in Device Manager causes Windows to default to the basic display adapter, re-enable the integrated GPU and try setting the preferred GPU for specific applications instead.
    

By following these steps, you should be able to set your AMD GPU as the primary display adapter, improving overall performance and allowing for better resolution settings.

If the above steps aren't working, it's probable that your laptop doesn't have a mux switch.

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.

1803 Issue: Hybrid laptop with Discrete GPU Connected to Display

Hello,

I am getting this message when trying to update to 1803 "Cannot uninstall App: Hybrid laptop with Discrete GPU Connected to Display" Please uninstall manually and then refresh. I am getting this on 2 Alienware 17 R4 laptops.

I have uninstalled the amplifier program and both Intel and NVIDA graphics drivers to no avail. Any suggestions?

No it is not in the App and Features section.
