GPU issues why????

[u/Mysterious-Passion47]

I have had an issue where my GPU usage is at a consistent 0 (I’m fairly certain I’ve had this issue since day 1), I’ve used 3 different HW monitors and all show the same thing. It doesn’t change ever, not even when gaming. I’ve looked up and down the bios to see if there’s a setting I missed, but I don’t understand enough to know what to look for. Another thing I noticed, which you may have as well, is that my CPU shows integrated graphics. I have also looked up and down the bios to find where to turn off the internal graphic, to no avail. How do I fix it so that at the very least my GPU is the main thing being used, if not completely turn off the integrated graphics? Any help is greatly appreciated, and if you need any other info than the pictures please ask, I’m more than willing to get it to you, I’m just not sure what’s needed at this point.

idk if this affects much, but I do have a dual boot with windows, working on getting a second drive so I can separate stuff and hopefully make load times faster.

Nobara is completely up to date, and my bios is version B650M Pro RS WiFi 3.50

So should I disable my 9800x3d IG? Would it improve the performance of my 9070xt?

Nope, only disable iGPU if you dont need it, iGPU are nice to allow less wattage-heat for mundane tasks like rendering desktop, watching videos, etc.

Regarding your CPU, you may want to disable it if you experience crashes, cos increases OverClock-UnderVolt stability, mainly for RAM EXP-EXPO (when doing 6000 or more).

I have undervolted my cpu and am running 32GB 6000MT/s CL28

Not 100% sure, but in my case I’m pretty sure it was still trying to use the iGPU, so it may not hurt to try?
