How Can I Access Dedicated GPU Settings in BIOS on Acer Aspire A715-76G?

Davidescu

Dear Acer Community Support,

I am experiencing a significant issue with my Acer Aspire A715-76G laptop. Despite having an NVIDIA RTX 2050 dedicated GPU, my system consistently uses the integrated Intel graphics, and I cannot access the settings to switch or control the GPU in the BIOS.

Here is what I have tried so far:

1. I attempted to set the NVIDIA GPU as the preferred graphics processor in the NVIDIA Control Panel (globally and for specific applications).
2. I configured Windows Graphics Settings to prioritize the dedicated GPU.
3. I disabled the integrated Intel graphics in Device Manager.
4. I performed a clean installation of both Intel and NVIDIA drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).
5. I checked BIOS settings, but the BIOS lacks any option to switch between integrated and dedicated graphics.
6. I attempted to downgrade my BIOS version to potentially access more options, but the downgrade is blocked.
7. I tried using H2OUVE (H2O UEFI Variable Editor) to unlock advanced BIOS options, but due to the BIOS protection, I am unable to run it successfully.

NVIDIA support has advised me to contact Acer for further assistance. I have also reached out to Acer Support directly, but I have not yet received a clear solution.

I would like to know if there is a way to unlock the advanced BIOS options (including GPU control) on my system or if a specific BIOS version can be provided that allows access to these settings.

Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards, David

Your can't have that setting in bios. Open windows graphics setting then add your application that you want to run in Dgpu then select it to high performance (Rtx 2050)
