On the Windows blog, Microsoft details some new features that can be tested in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 20190. Among other things, the software giant is now giving more granular control over the GPU. In the Graphics Settings menu, Windows 10 users can now select a default high performance GPU, as well as pick a specific GPU on a per application basis:
If you’re a power user that has multiple high performance GPUs and would like to specify which of those GPUs should be the one used for high performance uses cases, you can now do that by going to Settings > System > Display > Graphics settings or Settings > Gaming > Graphics settings. What this means is that an application that asks for a high-performance GPU will by default use the high-performance GPU you specify on this page.
