AMD laptop using both gpu's at the same time

[cme227]

My friend has an AMD laptop. When he's gaming laptop uses dedicated gpu, but at the same time the onboard vega gpu usage becomes %100 randomly. When usage of the vega is low, game is 100 fps stable. When vega tops out at %100, framerate drops to 30-40. I have no idea whats happening. Anyone has any idea? We are sure that game is utilizing 5300m but vega usage lowers the fps.

Laptop specs:

Ryzen 5 3550H

16gb 2666mhz dual channel ram

rx 5300m gpu

Running more than one app at once?

But they don't actually use any gpu. Task manager shows that the game is using the onboard gpu at the same time with dedicated gpu.

Have your friend go to Graphics Settings in Windows (Start -> type 'Graphics Settings') and click browse.

 

 

Navigate to the game/application executable and then click 'Options'.

 

 

In the window that appears, click (most likely) on the High Performance GPU to tell Windows to use that to run the graphics intensive application, then click save.

 

 

If that doesn't work, you can try disabling the power saving GPU in the BIOS.  This will force every application to run on the high performance GPU, but will come at the cost of increased noise, heat output and shorter battery life.

Yes, we already tried forcing high performance gpu in windows. It is utilized we are sure about that. We will try disabling vega from bios when he wakes up. That seems like only solution. He doesn't have heat problems. With both cpu and gpu utilization at %100 he tops at 65 degrees celcius. Thanks for your help.
