Gpu0 and Gpu1

[Spopscorn]

I recently bought a 14" pavilion x360, I specifically bought it for the decent graphics at his pricepoint (nvidia mx250), unfortunately, according to the task manager, it doesnt work at all leaving all the job to the infamous intel graphics uhd 620.

How can I switch to the mx 250?

Thanks to everybody who will answer.

@Spopscorn,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is not using the dedicated graphics.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

The graphics on your computer are system managed and based on load and requirement of the applications you are running the operating system will automatically switch the graphics. Having said that, I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.

Right-click your desktop background and select NVIDIA Control Panel. You can also find this tool by performing a Start menu (or Start screen) search for NVIDIA Control Panel or by right-clicking the NVIDIA icon in your system tray and selecting Open NVIDIA Control Panel.

To quickly set a system-wide preference, you could use the Adjust image settings with the preview option. For example, if you have old hardware that struggles to play the games you want to play, you may want to select “Use my preference emphasizing” and move the slider all the way to “Performance.” This trades graphics quality for an increased frame rate.

By default, the “Use the advanced 3D image settings” option is selected. You can select Manage 3D settings and change advanced settings for all programs on your computer or just for specific games. NVIDIA keeps a database of the optimal settings for various games, but you’re free to tweak individual settings here. Just mouse-over an option for an explanation of what it does.

If you have a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus technology — that is, both NVIDIA and Intel graphics — this is the same place you can choose which applications will use the NVIDIA hardware and which will use the Intel hardware.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
