i want ask question if APU and nvidia working together , as my test today work fine some games working as well on nvidia (after setting via windows 10 game mode)

but how about power consumtion... i still thinking about this , will this make expensive electricity bills ?

btw my device spec
Ryzen 5 2400G
Ram 8 (dual channel) *well this will upgrade to 16GB but not today
GTX 16050 Super

oh yeah , i forget.... i'm plug hdmi on mobo

Presuming you meant a GTX 1650 Super: Not really.

One of that would add some 150W to your computer's wattage, which meant 3.6kWh per day, maximum, even if you run it 24/7 at full tilt for some reason, which is still not too expensive for most places when compared to the card itself.

For best performance, plug your monitor into your GTX 1650, and turn off your APU's iGPU in BIOS.

So... better disable APU , ok

i'm forget not explain what i'm doing btw....

first i'm think try run APU and nvidia work together, apu for small job like browsing or small games , and nvidia for big job like play AAA games... , but i'm little think about power consumption....
