Recently I purchased the computer with the graphics card 2GB. However when I checked the selected graphics card on the computer, the dedicated card was shown.
These days the computer comes with the advanced feature called as Switchable Graphics. The word as describes the graphics is switchable. However after research i have found what this really means. Let me explain you more what this concept is.
So to understand what the technology basically means, it is a laptop technology that utilizes both the graphical processing capabilities of a discrete graphics adapter and the power efficiency of an integrated graphics adapter. Switchable Graphics invokes the discrete graphics only when it is needed for 3D applications, and uses energy-efficient integrated graphics capabilities the rest of the time and also for the high end games that utilizes the discrete graphics capability.
This means the discrete graphics card is not always in use. This is the great advantage on the laptop computer system.
Switchable Graphics will not function if the power saving GPU does not have any display drivers installed. The best place to install the Drivers is from the manufacturer's website.
