Question How do I choose which graphics card I use for games.

[Prentafy]

I two graphics cards in my computer, a Amd Radeon rx 580 and a intel. I want to use the radeon card for my games. I tried changing windows graphics settings and turning games to high performance, however, when I launch the game, I go into task manager and see that the intel is being used as my gpu while my radeon is not being used. Any solutions, I really need help.

Computer? Laptop or Desktop?

If a desktop, you'll use whichever your monitor is connected to. If you're connected to the onboard graphics of your CPU, then that's what it'll use, regardless of what you're doing with the system.

If a laptop, it should auto switch.

Plug into the appropriate graphics. In this case, the dedicated graphics card.

Yes, plug your monitor cable in to the RX 580, not the motherboard.
