Instructions
Step 1
The advantages of using two video cards can only be appreciated by people who often use a laptop without a power connection. The fact is that an integrated video card requires significantly less power to operate. Therefore, this allows you to extend the operating time of the device without recharging.
Step 2
In some laptops, the operating system automatically switches video cards, and sometimes you have to do it yourself. And there are a lot of ways to solve this issue.
Step 3
If you do not want to use one of the video adapters at all, then completely disable it. To do this, open the properties of the My Computer menu and go to Device Manager. Review the hardware list and find the required graphics card. Click on it with the right mouse button and select "Disable". Click the "Yes" button to confirm the operation.
Step 4
If the screen turns off after turning off the adapter, restart the laptop. The system will automatically turn on the second video card.
Step 5
If you are using an integrated video adapter installed on an AMD (Radeon) processor, you can switch the video card programmatically.
Step 6
Visit ati.com and download the program suitable for your video card from there. This is precisely the integrated model. Install AMD Engine Control Center and restart your laptop.
Step 7
Right click on the desktop. Select Configure AMD PowerXpress. You will see a menu displaying both video adapters. You can also see which of the devices is currently being used. Click on the inscription, symbolizing the second video card, and click the "Apply" button.
Step 8
If you want the video cards to change automatically when the power is connected / disconnected, then activate the item "Automatic selection of low GPU power consumption when running on battery power."
