If Using iGPU (Integrated GPU)

If using integrated GPU such as Intel Iris Xe or AMD Radeon Graphics, please set to “Low” or “Medium”.

GPU Settings Verification

If using a PC with dGPU (dedicated GPU), Windows may be using only iGPU for power saving.

There are many cases where Windows uses only iGPU despite having a dGPU like GeForce.

👉 Check if dGPU is being used correctly in GPU Configuration & Verification
