I have intergrated and dedicated GPUs??

Hey guys,

i have just finished my build, but i have noticed that in afterburner is is registering both GPUs???? Even though there in no DP cable in the motherboard??

do i disable the intergrated GPU or leave it alone????


thanks.

done. never crossed my mind lol, first IGPU i have had in god knows how long!

Yeah, they're still active if you don't disable it. If you plug the DP into the motherboard on Ryzen 7000/9000 CPUs, you can actually play on your graphics card through the motherboard

oh really?? thats a strange one!

It can be a useful feature, but I've never seen it advertised.

can the setup be damaged by the dual ones running or anything??

 

[Zeebedy]

ahh ok. thanks for letting me know!

I'd disable it anyway, IGPU don't have their own memory so windows will likely be reserving some GBs for it

Task manager > Performance > memory.
shows on there hardware reserved at the bottom right

My cpu seemed to be running slightly higher in usage to unit I disabled it. Not my much though.
