My Nitro 5 is using the onboard graphics instead of the discrete RX560.

I discovered this when i opened my laptop and played Rainbow Six Siege. I noticed the FPS was <=30

You have to setup the Rx560 x to be primary for games, follow these step and you will be good to go, please don't forget to click YES if I have answered your question

Make sure you game with your battery charged to 100% BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged into power while gaming, Windows MUST be set to High Performance plan, then do this:
Open your AMD control center 
First click the Updates tab at the bottom left and make sure your graphics drivers are updated to 19.10.2  or higher and click express upgrade



Make sure High Performance is selected under Power Plan in Nitrosense when on AC



After that make sure your games are in listed under switchable graphics and your games are set on High Performance, you must import your games .exe using the Browse tab in pic below



Lastly to run your game on the RX560x you must launch the game from inside the Radeon Adrenalin Control Center. Click the gaming tab then if your game is not there you will need to add your game's .exe by using the ADD button on the right and navigating to your games .exe file, then click the drop down box for your game then click launch. The game will now launch using the RX560x and your CPU should be boosting to MAX but only if needed and it will be monitored in Nitrosense

I dont have that Radeon Settings thing, but every time I try to download updated drivers, AMD’s website tells me to make sure that my Windows is updated before clicking “download.” Im sure my Windows is updated since it updated 5 times since i got it 3 days ago, but the “download” button won’t appear

Download it from here m8. Select the Window 10 64 bit. This will also give you the Radeon Adrenalin control center in the pic

The link I posted comes with The Adrenalin Control panel and the latest AMD drivers, it will automatically install the latest Vega 8, RX 560x and Ryzen 7 drivers
