It shows it using the igpu but it's really using the 3050.The graphics your games play will prove that. Almost all of my games are running at ultra high automatically on startup. there's also a Nvidia control panel installed on the computer that you can mess with also, I haven't even touched that though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Right_click the desktop and go to the Nvidia Control Panel. Under Manage 3D settings, you'll have the option to switch your preferred graphics processor globally or on a program-to-program basis. If you're trying to turn of the integrated graphics entirely, I'm not quite sure how or if it's even advisable. The bios lets you turn of the Nvidia or use both but not turn off the integrated one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Typically while in the OS and not gaming it will use the built in AMD GPU, this is normal and preserves battery life. When you are gaming it will switch over to the Nvidia card. To ensure that it is doing this, open the Nvidia control panel in the bottom right notification area. You will see a drop down at the top for "preferred graphics processor" you can set this to the Nvidia one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use both the discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU as well as the integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 graphics processor, integrated within the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor for maximum performance. Just change your Power Management settings to Performance Mode within the Lenovo Vantage Dashboard installed within this IdeaPad 3 15 Gaming Laptop or you can go to your Power Management setting within your System Settings within Windows 11.
