About this tag
The gpu selection tag collects WindowsForum.com discussion about how Windows and the software running on it choose which graphics card to use. A recent example covers Steam Link VR, where Valve confirmed the streaming app picks a discrete GPU and, on systems with two cards, prefers Nvidia over AMD with no in-app override.
