How to Switch From Integrated GPU to Dedicated GPU (NVIDIA-AMD)

If your Android game does not perform as well as you expect with your AMD or Nvidia graphics card on LDPlayer, it may be running with the wrong GPU. Most notebook computers and desktop computers, have more than one GPU: an integrated and a dedicated one. The integrated graphics chipset is built into the processor and makes sure that your computer can use a display even without dedicated GPU. However, more demanding tasks such as gaming require a stronger GPU, which in most cases is the dedicated one.
