Chapter 2. Learning the basics Using Switchable Graphics (specific models only Some IdeaPad models support Switchable Graphics. With this technology, you have the flexibility to switch between a dedicated AMD® GPU* (highperformance GPU) and an integrated Intel GPU (power-saving GPU) without restarting the Windows operating system. *GPU is short for graphics processing unit. Note: The dedicated AMD GPU provides you with superior graphics performance while the energy-efficient integrated graphics provides longer operation with the battery. You can switch to the high-performance GPU to gain the best graphics performance. However, when the computer is using battery power you are advised to switch to the power-saving GPU if you are not running graphics-intensive applications. To change the GPU, do the following: 1 Start your computer to the Windows operating system. If the computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, press the power button to wake it up. Note: Do not try to change the GPU when the computer is in sleep or hibernation mode. 2 Activate the Switchable Graphics dialog box. To activate the dialog box, you can: • right-click on the desktop and select Configure Switchable Graphics from the pop-up menu. • slide and release the GPU switch on the front side of your computer. 31
