Do you have multiple graphics on your computer? So you can choose which one to open an app or game in Windows 10
So far, Windows 10, like any other operating system, uses the most powerful graphics when opening an app or game in order to achieve the best performance. However, if we have two charts (something very common, especially laptops), thanks to the latest version of Windows 10, the controversial April 2018 update, we will be able to enjoy both of these charts at the same time. so you can conserve battery power by dedicating the worst performing GPU when running applications that don't require high graphics.
A dedicated graphics card, such as a NVIDIA GTX 1070 high-end gaming laptop, do not not consume the same as the GPU integrated into the processor, normally a very simple Intel. This graph serves us perfectly, for example, to make a normal use of the computer, being able to save the battery as much as possible without having performance problems, while we can reserve the most powerful graph for when we are. are going to watch videos in high quality (eg 4K) or when we go to play.
In the following comprehensive manual, colleagues from hard zone walk us through step by step how we can choose which graphic we want to use for each app or game individually in Windows 10 April 2018 Update.
In addition, the task manager of the latest versions of Windows 10 also allows us to easily know the applications that use the GPU during its operation, as well as the graph, if we have more than one, which it accesses, the GPU 0 being the primary and GPU 1 the secondary.
How to optimize the performance of our graphics cards after updating to Windows 10 April 2018 Update
In addition to all the issues related to updating Windows 10 April 2018 Microsoft has focused its efforts on improving the performance of games when running on the new operating system, by optimizing the computer to prioritize gaming processes higher than others. Applications.
Anyway, besides updating it is very important to make sure that we have the latest version of our graphics card drivers installed, be it NVIDIA or AMD. Each update, in addition to optimizing the performance of certain games, usually fixes small issues so that the overall performance of the computer improves significantly. Normally, these drivers usually bring a control panel that will inform us of new versions of the drivers, although if we wish we can also search and download the new versions from their corresponding web pages.
Is your operating system 100% ready to go?
