Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Or Discrete Graphics Mode
Your computer features a dedicated Discrete Graphics Mode , and a Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Mode fea-
turing switchable graphics technology.
Microsoft Hybrid Graphics Mode - This seamless technology is designed to get best performance from the
graphics system while allowing longer battery life, without having to manually change settings. The computer’s
operating system (and some applications) will
automatically switch between the integrated GPUand the discrete
GPU when required by the applications in use. This switch is seamless to the user (see Appendix C ).
Discrete Graphics Mode - Discrete Graphics Mode will use the dedicated Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
which is more powerful, and therefore more suitable for playing games, watching HD video or running GPU-
based applications.
This mode is selected by default .
