The driver needs to be installed, which can be switched automatically. The computer will choose the appropriate graphics card, which will work well. Of course, it can also be set manually
This can be switched automatically. The computer will select the appropriate graphics card, which will work well. Of course, it can also be set manually
Due to the consideration of power consumption and heating, many laptops are equipped with dual graphics cards, which can achieve low power consumption and high-performance conversion through switching. If users work in desktop mode, they can switch to Intel * N * processor or AMD APU processor integrated graphics card to load extremely low graphics pressure on the desktop. If they start playing 3D games, they can switch to independent graphics card to enjoy a smooth gaming experience. This is the advantage of dual video card switching. No matter NVIDIA&AMD's graphics card technology, it can automatically and quickly switch the output of different graphics cards without restarting the computer, and only supports the Windows VISTA/7 system. Generally, the switching operation of independent video card can be realized in the video card drive control panel. Nvidia's dual video card switching settings: the optimus technology developed by NVIDIA does not require user intervention. The system will automatically judge the current task, and then select the video card to execute the task. Of course, if the driver cannot correctly identify, or some programs do not need to use a separate graphics card, but the user can also manually set the program to use a separate graphics card to run, but this will increase the heat dissipation burden of the notebook without reason, resulting in the high rotation of the cooling fan, which is the result of faster dust accumulation and requires frequent dust cleaning. The specific switching method is: right-click on the desktop, and select NVIDIA Control Panel from the pop-up menu. Then the NVIDIA settings menu * pops up, and select * Manage 3D settings, you will see the option of using centralized display or independent display globally. After selecting an independent video card, the system will use the video card you selected when performing tasks. Dual graphics switching settings of AMD graphics card: right click on the desktop to enter the "Configure Interchangeable Display Card" option. In the switching interface, we can see the display core types that can be switched. The single display is represented by a "high-performance GPU", and the centralized display is represented by a "power saving GPU". From the interface options, we can see that the switching between the single display and the centralized display is actually a switch between performance and efficiency. The independent display provides strong performance but also has a large power consumption, Although the performance of centralized display is still far from that of single display, its power consumption is much lower. The switching of dual graphics cards meets the dual pursuit of notebook computers for high performance and long standby, which is a more advanced operating technology and an important milestone in the development of graphics cards
Nowadays, many notebooks are equipped with dual graphics cards, one independent graphics card and one integrated graphics card. Usually, these two graphics cards are automatically switched when they are working. For example, when the notebook is running a large game, it is obvious that the integrated graphics card cannot meet the needs. At this time, the notebook will automatically switch the graphics card to the independent graphics card, In this way, there will be no stuck and slow reaction when playing the game; However, when the notebook runs some small software, such as Office, the integrated graphics card can meet the demand. At this time, the notebook will switch the graphics card to the integrated graphics card. At this time, if you have to use a separate graphics card, there will be no problem, but the power consumption of the notebook may increase. The dual graphics card can also be switched manually, which needs software. Generally, the notebook official website will provide a driver for switching dual graphics cards. As long as the driver is installed, the dual graphics card can be switched manually and freely.
Nowadays, computers are switched automatically without manual switching. If you switch between N card and A card manually, both graphics cards have their own control panels. Right click on the desktop and select from the pop-up menu. The notebook of the dual graphics card cannot be set to turn off the integrated graphics card, because the notebook now works independently, and the centralized display output. After the centralized display is disabled, the screen will be black, and the BIOS cannot enter.
After setting, the system automatically judges switching
It is basically intelligent switching. No action is required. You can select the control panel of the video card, select the default video card, or select a video card for a program. However, if the driver list of the graphics card does not support this program. It's useless for you to switch over. So if you have a program that can't run, it's a good idea to update the graphics driver in time.
Drive needs to be installed.
The default configuration of the notebook is generally between performance and energy saving. This is better. My point is that it can also be set independently in the N card control panel. The crazy hatter answered very professionally and praised one

Nowadays, as long as new laptops have independent graphics cards, they are basically switched by dual graphics cards. The difference is that Nvidia's and AMD's graphics cards have different drivers, so the switching mode is different. If you need to customize the settings to start the independent graphics card when some programs run, sometimes you only use the core graphics card to ensure battery life and low heat, You need to set it in the control panel. You cannot use the default settings.
It is better to use the default configuration of the notebook, which is generally between performance and energy saving. This is a balance.
Now the notebook is automatically switched. If there is no special requirement, generally do not move it

NVIDIA will also design game console cores, such as Xbox and PlayStation 3. NVIDIA's most famous product lines are GeForce display card series for games, Quadro display card series for professional workstations, and Tesla series designed for servers and efficient computing.
This is automatic switching... according to the use requirements, but when not connected to the power supply, it is usually the default core graphics card
Nvidia's dual video card switching settings:
The optimus technology developed by NVIDIA does not require user intervention. The system will automatically judge the current task, and then select the graphics card to execute the task. Of course, if the driver cannot correctly identify, or some programs do not need to use a separate graphics card, but the user can also manually set the program to use a separate graphics card to run, but this will increase the heat dissipation burden of the notebook without reason, resulting in the high rotation of the cooling fan, which is the result of faster dust accumulation and requires frequent dust cleaning.
As an old driver, say the following steps:
Step 1: Insert our drive CD into the CD drive. If the computer has no CD drive or no drive CD, you can go to the official website to download the corresponding graphics card driver according to the model.
Step 2: Enter the driver CD or find the video card driver after downloading the driver. Remember to install the centralized display driver first and then the independent display driver. Click Setup.exe to install the driver.
Step 3: enter the driver installation interface, pop up the Catalyst Control Center installer box, and click Next to enter the next installation step (this is an AMD unique driver case, which is simple to check and display, and you can go directly to the next step).
Step 4: In the installation type, we choose fast custom installation to select which optional parts to install. It is recommended to install all of them. So select fast, and do not change the drive installation path. By default, click Next.
Next, do not operate the computer. Wait until the progress bar finishes scrolling, and then you will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes to restart the computer immediately.
Finally, after restarting the computer, right click the computer icon, select Device Manager, and click Display Adapter. If you see the name of the AMD graphics card driver displayed normally without exclamation marks, it means that the installation is successful.
Computers are generally dual graphics cards: CPU integrated core graphics card and independent graphics card. Normally, intelligent operation is the default. The centralized display performance may be inferior to the single display performance, and the running performance may also be inferior at the same time.
Select [This Computer] of the computer -- select [Management] and click Open.
In this interface, find [Device Manager], click Open, find the display adapter, and two video card configuration information will appear, the upper one is centralized display, and the lower one is individual display.
Select a graphics card, right click, and an option box pops up. The options in the box are: update driver software, disable, uninstall, scan and detect hardware changes, and properties.
If the video card is disabled, select the video card, right click and start it.
When playing the game, if you switch, the screen may be black. Restart the game.
Nowadays, most computers have such a feature: CPU integrated core graphics card, plus independent graphics card in the computer. Such computers have dual graphics cards. Normally, dual graphics cards will automatically switch to intelligent operation. However, due to the limited performance of the CPU integrated graphics card, it cannot compete with the independent graphics card. In addition, the dual graphics card computer may not be able to install or flash back games due to compatibility when running some games. In this case, we usually need to switch the dual graphics card to the independent graphics card to run, that is, designate the computer to use the high-performance independent graphics card to run programs or games, which not only has the best performance, but also can solve some compatibility problems.
