If not, you'll likely need to disable it in Device Manager. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disabling-gpu-completely-possible/?ID=018b146d-6ef4-7646-bb33-be5dda52bf61 Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:33:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/disabling-gpu-completely-possible/?ID=018b146d-6ef4-7646-bb33-be5dda52bf61 DisplayFusion I'm experiencing some sound artefacts in Ableton Live caused by strange CPU load spikes when using my computer and got a tip that it could be my dedicated GPU that is causing it. So I wanted to try and connect my desk monitor to the integrated GPU instead and see if there is a difference.

However, I still want to be able to use the dedicated GPU for connection to my TV, where I do most of my gaming. So I was curious: if I were to create a profile in DisplayFusion where I would disable all screens of the dedicated GPU and only have the screen connected to the integrated GPU active, would that completely disable any interaction between the computer/CPU and the dedicated GPU? Or would it require me to either disable it in Task Mananger or physically disconnect it from the motherboard? ]]>
