I have recently installed a 1660 super to my tc-885 that has an i5-8400. I saw that Adobe Premiere pro needs see my integrated graphics as well as my 1660 super to enable hardware encoding (https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/gpu-acceleration-and-hardware-encoding.html). When I go into my
bios on the motherboard, it says I have discrete video output but I can’t figure out how to enable the onboard graphic controller. It doesn’t allow me to got down and toggle it. Is there a bios update I can do to enable it?

    Nope, I believe they have it all one or the other. The BIOS disables the onboard video as soon as it detects a discrete GPU and uses that instead. Acer makes a few laptops where the onboard screen uses a discrete GPU and the port for a second monitor uses the chipset graphics controller, but I don't know of any of their desktop models that will do that.
