Disable integrated gpu

[Bandizooie]

Hello, thank you for reading. i have been noticing that my frames in games has been dropping during gaming and im pretty sure it isnt just because of my system "being old". i have a AMD A-SERIES CPU so it has integrated graphics, but this is useless because i have a GTX 750 ti to do all of the graphics for me, im thinking that maybe during gaming my CPU is trying to use integrated graphics therefore not giving my pc the processioning power it needs to run the fps at a constant rate. so i am wondering whether there is anything i can do to fix this, or is it just that my system cannot run games (overwatch) at a constant 60 fps on medium to low.

also if i am being dumb please do tell me, im all ears

I haven't had a APU in years. Just disable it in bios like in the good ol' days.

are you sure that the cable to the monitor is connected to the GPU not the iGPU?

You could either try disabling it in the BIOS or you could follow these steps:

Step 1

Turn on your computer and sign in with an administrative user account.

Step 2

Install latest GPU drivers. Upon completion, restart your computer to complete the setup.

Step 3

Press "Windows-R" to open the "Run" tool, type "devmgmt.msc" into the box and then click "OK."

Step 4

Double-click the "Display Adapters" category in the Device Manager window to display its contents.

Step 5

Right-click the graphics device labeled "Onboard" or "Integrated" and select "Disable."

Step 6

Click "Yes" to confirm the disabling of your onboard graphics. Close the Device Manager.

Your computer would only be trying to use the gpu on the cpu if you had your monitor plugged directly into the motherboard. If you have your monitor plugged into your 750ti you don't need to worry about it. Though you can still disable the igpu in the bios if you think that's the problem.
