Question Asus Zephyrus G14 select gpu

[G14]

I got Asus Zephyrus G14 and im happy with it. Except that I cant choose what program will use what GPU. I tried setting it for a specific application (UserBenchmark) in Nvidia Control Panel, Windows "Graphics performance preference" and it still uses integrated GPU :/ Does anyone know how to force a specific program to run with Nvidia GPU?

In the Nvidia control panel there are program settings you can use.

But you can also use the global settings to select you want to always use the dedicated graphics card which I found to work less buggy.

I already tried, also didnt help. I found out that when I set Nvidia for specific INSTALLED program in Graphics Performance Preference it works... But not for run-only programs like UserBenchMark :/

I don't know how to effectively solve the issue with run only programs. It should do it automatically but with run only programs I don't think it does.
I can only suggest a workaround.
Generally with these laptops the laptop only uses the onboard graphics on its own screen. If you attach a monitor by hdmi or displayport it should use the dedicated gpu instead.

This might work if your trying to run userBenchMark only once but it isn't a sollution in any way.

That sucks :/ Idk why they removed the option to right-click a program and select which graphical processor you want to use :/ Anyway thanks for the info, Ill try the external monitor workaround

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I hope the workaround works for you.
