I've recently discovered when troubleshooting performance issues with PC games that my computer has two built in GPUs (My particular computer is the Lenovo U530 Touch for those interested - specs). This has caused numerous perfomance issues in the fact that games will use the less powerful on-board Intel HD Graphics 4400 instead of the Nvidia 730M in many cases.
I can do my research to figure out how to fix those performance issues, but I'm just curious in the first place: why does my laptop come with both of these installed at all? Wouldn't it just be better to have the more powerful one? Can/does the computer use both of them at once?
6Switchable graphics allows a low power consumption integrated GPU and high performance dedicated GPU to be combined so you have the ability to switch between them, sacrificing either performance or battery life as per your requirements. – Karan – 2015-05-02T04:19:19.383
You can also configure what card should be used for this or that game. – Little Helper – 2015-05-02T14:51:05.773
