Question Looking for advice to configure BIOS / Graphics settings for optimal performance when using Adobe Programs

[vic-vinegar]

I'm fairly limited in my knowledge regarding the BIOS configurations, hardware, and the relationship between how internal and dedicated graphics cards are utilized and really appreciate any knowledge / further explanation of what's important or what is going over my head.

I recently upgraded to a desktop pc and use Adobe programs (mainly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) and was hoping to get advice on the best settings / configuration for performance when using multiple programs at once or doing graphic-intensive projects.

----

My Specs:
Motherboard: MSI PRO X670-P WIFI (MS-7D67)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
Internal GPU: AMD Raphael - Internal GPU [MSI]
Dedicated GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
Memory: T-Force 2x32 DDR5-6000 SDRAM
OS: Windows 11 Home x64

----

BIOS Settings that I have configured myself:

Overclocking > DRAM Settings;
A-XMP: Enabled


Settings > Advanced > Integrated Graphics Configuration:
Initiate Graphics Adapter: PEG
Integrated Graphics: Game Mode
UMA Frame Buffer Size: Auto
HybridGraphics: Disabled

----

What I'm hoping my current BIOS settings are achieving:
- Able to plug in the HDMI to the motherboard and utilize both graphics cards
- Optimize the memory cards for performance (by turning on the X-AMP)
- Expand the DRAM so that I can enable the GPU performance settings in the Adobe programs

For clarity, I am not comfortable changing any overclock settings (don't have enough knowledge to trust configuring myself), and instead am just looking to make sure I have an optimized base setup and that I am not doing anything redundant / unnecessary if that makes sense.

Thank you so much in advance for any tips or insights you have!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU. What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? As for your BIOS settings, you're fine as is, without the iGPU. You should hook up all panels to your discrete GPU unless you've run out of connectivity off of your discrete GPU.

Thank you so much for the quick response!

I wasn't able to find the PSU using HWiNFO but this is what I have from the manufacturer:
800 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold Certified Power Supply

The BIOS version is 1.E5

I switched my HDMI and plugged directly into the GPU, now in the AMD interface it switched the GPU1 and 2 so that GPU1 is the discrete card, and the internal card (GPU2) is no longer being utilized (which is what I assume is now the optimal configuration).
