Making use of i-gpu HP Omen 40l

Morning

Is there anyway of making use of Intel14700k integrated graphics.

I use Omen 40L via  4070ti via hdmi to oled, not sure if this connection can be switched to i-gpu.

@Donfor,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

When you installed your RTX 4070 Ti in your Omen 40L, the integrated graphics of your processor (often referred to as the iGPU) is automatically disabled by the system. This happens because the system BIOS/UEFI detects the presence of the dedicated GPU and prioritizes it for display output.

However, there are some exceptions and configurations where both the dedicated GPU and integrated graphics can work simultaneously:

1. BIOS/UEFI Settings: In some systems, you can manually configure the BIOS/UEFI settings to enable both the dedicated GPU and integrated graphics. This is useful if you want to use the integrated graphics for tasks like running a second display or for specific workloads.

2. Windows Settings: In some cases, Windows allows you to configure which GPU to use for different applications. You can set certain programs to use the dedicated GPU and others to use the integrated graphics.

3. Motherboard Features: Some motherboards support a feature called "Hybrid Graphics" or "Dual Graphics," where both the integrated and dedicated GPUs can work together under specific conditions.

If you don't manually enable both, the system will usually default to the more powerful dedicated GPU for all graphics tasks, while the integrated graphics remains idle.

So, in order to enable the integrated graphics (iGPU) in your Omen 40L with an RTX 4070 Ti, you'll need to adjust the BIOS/UEFI settings. Here's a step-by-step guide assuming your PC has the following options:

1. Enter the BIOS/UEFI

• Restart your PC.
• As the computer starts, press the appropriate key to enter the BIOS/UEFI. For HP Omen systems, this is usually the F10 key, but it could also be Esc or Del depending on the exact model.

2. Navigate to Integrated Graphics Settings

• Once inside the BIOS/UEFI, look for the Advanced or Advanced Settings tab. The exact layout can vary, but you're searching for something related to Graphics Configuration, Chipset, or Integrated Graphics.

3. Enable Integrated Graphics

• Within the Graphics Configuration settings, there should be an option to enable the iGPU or Integrated Graphics. If it's set to Auto or Disabled, change it to Enabled.

4. Configure Multi-Monitor Support (if applicable)

• If you plan to use both the iGPU and the dedicated GPU simultaneously (e.g., for dual monitors), look for an option related to Multi-Monitor Support or iGPU Multi-Monitor and enable it.

5. Save and Exit

• After making your changes, navigate to the Save & Exit option and save your settings. Your computer will then reboot with the iGPU enabled.

6. Install Integrated Graphics Drivers (if needed)

• Once the iGPU is enabled, Windows might automatically install the necessary drivers. However, if it doesn't, you can download the latest drivers for the integrated graphics from the Intel website (assuming you have an Intel CPU with integrated graphics).

7. Configure Displays in Windows

• After booting into Windows, go to Settings > System > Display. You should see options to configure multiple displays if you plan to use both the iGPU and the RTX 4070 Ti for different monitors.

Additional Notes:

• If you're using the iGPU and dedicated GPU together, make sure to connect your monitors to the correct ports—some to the motherboard (for iGPU) and others to the RTX 4070 Ti (for the dedicated GPU).
• Not all games and applications support dual GPU setups, so you may need to specify which GPU should be used for specific tasks in your settings.

The preceding steps hopefully allowed you to utilize the iGPU alongside the RTX 4070 Ti!
