Improving Graphics Performance in Laptops
Many laptops have an integrated graphics card and a more powerful discrete graphics card. For best performance, it is recommended to always use the discrete graphics card.
In Windows 10:
- Open Graphics Settings in the Control Panel.
- Select Classic App.
- Browse to the location of your internet browser.
- Select it, and choose Options.
- Select High performance. After your browser is restarted, it should always use the discrete graphics card.
