Overwatch not accessing dGPU when Displaylink Hub plugged in

[AlbanRampon]

Hello,

The GPU selection is from the OS kernel mode driver. Since Windows 10 Anniversary Update, DisplayLink doesn't have a kernel mode driver.
There isn't any application which can change this, whatever the GPU utility claims. Once the OS has booted, it's too late to do the change. Even the new switch in the latest OS cannot change that. This is the case with any indirect display, not specific to DisplayLink.

There is a feature request with Microsoft to use the best GPU instead of using the POST GPU, which is almost always the Intel graphics, or at least allow us to suggest GPU affinity.

It wouldn't be appropriate for us to comment on someone else feature delivery date though.

The only solution today is to switch off the low end GPU completely, provided your platform allows that, so the POST graphics card is the high end one.

You reporting this as being an issue for you via the Windows 10 Feedback Hub is the way to make sure it is prioritised earlier rather than later.

Kind regards,
Alban
