[Q] How Do You Get CMO to Use a Different GPU?

[zclark]

Can someone tell me how to make CMO use my NVidia 3080 graphics card versus my Intel GPU? CMO is using my Intel UHD Graphics 770 GPU instead.

Thanks,

Nvida's control panel app usually has a setting for this (either by game\app, or just overall), similarly Intels graphics management app typically has similar setting for configuring app specific behavior, and possible enable\disabling of card.

If not, I believe win 10 1803+ will let you set this similar method where you tell window specifically which to use for defined apps.

The testing I have done shows GPU has almost no impact on CMO performance. In laptops with a discrete GPU, using the Intel GPU can actually lower thermal impact and get a few more cycles out of your CPU. Its very dependent on GPU generation though. Some of the newer GPUs are very thermally efficient

Thanks so much KnightHawk75! This may have resolved the constant "Big Red X" issues I was having. Still testing but so far so good.
