For some reason some really low graphics games tend to send my gpu flying all over the place. No issue running higher end games at all. I run something like hearthstone (nearly no graphics type game) and my GPU usage is insane. It goes from under 20% which is what it should be up to 70-90% every few seconds. Have tried everything to fix this and last option now is to find a way to simply switch to integrated graphics when I play this game.

I have I-5 4460 so the integrated should still run this game on high w/o issues. I don't want to have to go into the bios and change it every time if it can be avoided. It's so weird the GPU core clock goes from low power mode 300mhz to 1070 then randomly it dips to 1030 for a second and back to 300.

When I plug into my motherboards HDMI it has no video.
