Hi @Aayush1103 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

The HP Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fb3011AX does indeed feature the MUX switch, which allows you to manually switch between the integrated GPU (iGPU) and the dedicated GPU (dGPU). 

This capability is useful for optimizing performance based on your current needs, whether for gaming or general productivity tasks.

 

How to Switch Between iGPU and dGPU

To manually switch between the iGPU and dGPU using the MUX switch, you generally follow these steps:

Access BIOS Settings:

• Restart your laptop.
• Immediately start pressing the Esc or F10 key repeatedly to enter the BIOS setup utility.

Navigate to Advanced Settings:

• Use the arrow keys to navigate to the Advanced tab or Graphics Settings section in the BIOS menu.
• Look for options related to GPU configuration.

Switch GPU Mode:

• You should see an option to select between either the integrated graphics or the dedicated graphics.
• Select the mode corresponding to the GPU you wish to use (iGPU for integrated graphics or dGPU for dedicated graphics).

Save and Exit:

• Press F10 to save changes and exit the BIOS setup utility.
• Your laptop will reboot, applying the new settings.

 

Important Notes

• Performance Considerations: Switching to the dGPU may offer better graphics performance in demanding applications and games, while the iGPU is more power-efficient for everyday tasks.
• Driver Updates: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date to take full advantage of both GPUs. You can download updated drivers from HP's support website or directly from the GPU manufacturer's site.
• Compatibility: Some applications may automatically select the best GPU based on their requirements, regardless of manual changes.

Let me know how it goes. You're clearly digging into the right details.
