Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Or Discrete Graphics Mode

Your computer features a dedicated Discrete Graphics Mode ( DISCRETE ) , and a Microsoft Hybrid Graphics
Mode MSHYBRID featuring switchable graphics technology.
( )
Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Mode ( MSHybrid ) - This seamless technology is designed to get best performance from
the graphics system while allowing longer battery life, without having to manually change settings. The computer's op-
erating system (and some applications) will automatically switch between the integrated GPU(iGPU) and the discrete
GPU (dGPU) when required by the applications in use. This switch is seamless to the user. This mode is selected by
default.
Discrete Graphics Mode DISCRETE - Discrete Graphics Mode will use the dedicated Graphics Processing Unit
( )
(GPU) which is more powerful, and therefore more suitable for playing games, watching HD video or running GPU-
based applications.
You can choose either DISCRETE mode or MSHYBRID mode by selecting the appropriate option from GPU Switch
in the Control Center, or in the BIOS. You will need to restart the system after making changes to the selected graph-
ics mode. Moving the mouse pointer over the taskbar icon will indicate the current GPU mode (double-click the icon
to go to the Control Center).
