ok so when I upgraded from dual 580 cards to te nvidia 2080 super-clock GPU. and i got a little program that says that i have a couple programs running on the GPU versus the CPU... Programs like
phone and internet explore( which I dont use ) plus a few other programs.. I ma trying to figure out how and when these programs switched to the gpu fro mthe cpus ( being a AMD ryzen 9 3950 ) and why plus I like ot switch them back as it seems to be making the gpu work more. i have consider wiping and doing a clean install on my OS but it only been a few months.. drivers are all most recent ones and it not effecting my gaming that i can see but, I find it weird that these programs are running off my gpu ( ones like phone i dont use and cant uninstall them from pc
