If your monitor is connected to your say your NVidia graphics card in the back of your pc it can only use the NVidia video card as the monitor is not plugged into the onboard mother board graphics, unless there is a pass through system?
This doesn’t seem to work when you have 2 of the same additional GPU devices in your machine, how would you get an app to work with GPU1 instead of GPU2 if you have say 2 AMD cards in your machine
Added a bunch of apps. They still use the power hungry Nvidia GTX 1060 high end GPU. Battery life is still slightly above 2 hours. Reviews of that device shown over 4 hours with few system utilization.
When i added Fortnite and clicked options to changed the graphic power settings it says its using my both of my power saving GPU for my High performance GPU so every game i play cant even get a solid 10 FPS on all low settings from a $700 gaming laptop from Dell if any one has or had the same problem please help me to any solutions you might have My specs:
CPU: AMD A10-9630p RADEON R5, 10 COMPUTE CORES 4C+6G base clock is 2.60 GHz and goes up to 3.05GHz and 64-bit OS and x64 BP
RAM: 8GB DDR4
CPU Graphics: AMD Radeon R5- 512 MB DDR4
DISCRETE Graphic Card: RX 560 Radeon- 4 GB GDDR5
If i am missing something please respond as soon as possible, i have waited almost 2 years trying to find a solution PLEASE HELP!
I’m attempting to use my high performance card for WoW. When I browse to add it all I see is the World of Warcraft Launcher. Will it work if I change the options on that? I don’t see any other way to do it. Thanks and thank you for this article it’s a great one!
Thank you, I was trying to do this via Nvidia’s program, but this seems easier, and it appears that it makes a big difference on the built in Movies & Television app and the Photos app.

I usually chose which card to use or to not use

Yes. The launcher launches the game. So it should work when you do that. 😉

Are not the two video cards the cause of the inability of Windows 10 to duplicate monitors?
Lol. No!
