#GT 720 IN GPU 0?!

Help me solve it

#

I need to make it GPU 1

chrome dawn
#

?

#

what is your problem

heady urchin
#

So uhh my gpu is in gpu 0

#

people said i need to

#

make it

#

GPU 1

chrome dawn
#

why

heady urchin
#

low performance

chrome dawn
#

well is it rendering on igpu

heady urchin
#

I have integrated gpu in my cpu but

#

im currently plugging the gt 720 gpu in my monitor

chrome dawn
#

and gt 720 is worse then lots of igpu's

heady urchin
#

so im not using that integrated gpu in my cpu

#

is gt 720 an igpu?

chrome dawn
#

no

#

its just a very bad gpu

heady urchin
#

nuh uh

#

i have a bad cpu either

#

so this gpu would help

#

a4-6300 and gt 720 combo

#

a4 6300 has integrated gpu

#

but

#

i think pairing with gt 720 would help

#

are you saying that i need 4090 or sum like that

#

lol

chrome dawn
#

ok dose the 3d load show up on the gt 720 when running game

heady urchin
#

its slow

#

i notice improvements once i got it

#

google said gpu 0 is integrated

#

but bruh

chrome dawn
#

NO its not

heady urchin
#

gt 720 is dedicated

#

THEN WHY IS IT ON GPU 0

chrome dawn
#

its the first one the os picks for list thats all

#

why a you thinking its under performing

heady urchin
#

well google said

#

gpu 0 is bad

chrome dawn
#

is there a gpu 1 in the list

heady urchin
#

no

chrome dawn
#

the gt 720 is the only one and the list starts at 0

heady urchin
#

yes

chrome dawn
#

so is there a problem

dim heart
#

^ this

The tldr is computers start counting form 0 and up, this is normal to see

heady urchin
#

awh

#

so google is a lie

#

i see

dim heart
#

Yeah whatever you found was probably an article that would apply to laptops, not desktops

heady urchin
#

probably.

chrome dawn
#

well igpu is noramly 0 if its enabled

dim heart
#

As laptops have an igpu, which is typically the primary ( 0 ) with the dedicated gpu in it being ( 1 ) but not tye primary

chrome dawn
#

well i have igpu as 0 and dgpu as 1

dim heart
#

As long as you connect the display to the dedicated gpu, it'll use that for rendering, unless you've set otherwise in power settings/etc

heady urchin
#

This?

dim heart
#

Fuck i did that to yhe edit

#

Oops

#

Looks normal ye

heady urchin
#

what

primal mirage
#

Basically there's nothing wrong with your PC at all

heady urchin
#

Also I just replaced thermal paste in the gpu

#

how do i check the

#

temparature

#

im using windows 10

chrome dawn
#

with hwinfo or gpuz

heady urchin
#

man i dont need to download

chrome dawn
#

some gpu it will say in taskmgr

heady urchin
primal mirage
#

Think of "GPU 0" as a nerdy way to say, "primary GPU". So that's telling you that you have the GT720 active, which sounds like is what you want

chrome dawn
#

well its not allway primy gpu

heady urchin
#

no temparature

chrome dawn
#

do you ahve drivers

primal mirage
heady urchin
chrome dawn
#

well idk other way with out downloads

heady urchin
primal mirage
#

Oh wait @OP are you instead trying to get your igpu to show up in task manager as GPU 0

heady urchin
heady urchin
chrome dawn
#

good software

#

way more then that

#

is in there

primal mirage
#

Does your task manager have a GPU 1 that lists the igpu? If not, then the igpu is definitely disabled and you're only using the gt720

heady urchin
#

only GPU 0

primal mirage
#

That means you only have the gt 720 active

heady urchin
#

kinda

primal mirage
#

Wym kinda

heady urchin
#

but my cpu has integrated

primal mirage
#

But it's disabled

heady urchin
#

idk

primal mirage
#

That's why it's not showing up in task manager

heady urchin
#

really

#

maybe tho

primal mirage
#

Wym maybe

#

I'm telling you: Gt 720 being listed as GPU 0 with no gpu 1 listed means you have a gt720 plugged in and active and your igpu is disabled

heady urchin
#

nice

#

also

#

lets change the topic

#

there's no gpu temperature in task manager

primal mirage
#

What update # of windows are you on

chrome dawn
#

they said 10

primal mirage
#

Let me rephrase that

#

What build of windows 10 are you on

#

My top 3 guesses for what's wrong here:

  1. The gt720 is a really cheap GPU and might not have onboard temperature sensors, thus no temperature reported.
  2. You haven't updated windows since 2020 and so the feature is not present
  3. Your GPU drivers model is less than wddm 2.0
heady urchin
#

I ALWAYS update windows

heady urchin
primal mirage
#

Ok so that rules out 2 and 3

heady urchin
#

if gpu has no temperature sensors

#

nvidia themselves must not have data about temperatures of gt 720

#

google said gt 720 can work at 98 °C.

#

then

#

how did they found out?

#

hmm im guessing tools

#

like temperature checker

#

the gun

#

thing

#

oh right

#

thermometer

primal mirage
#

There are ways to calculate it but that's not the point rn, I think a reasonable thing to do rn is to download hwinfo and check if the sensors exist

#

It's at least a good sanity check

heady urchin
#

how about techpowerup

primal mirage
#

Techpowerup is one of the websites that you can to go to in order to download hwinfo

heady urchin
#

ah

#

this?

chrome dawn
#

or you can get it fomr there sight

primal mirage
#

Yeah there's quite a few mirrors, but that one is fine

heady urchin
#

give me a link

#

its

#

something confusing

#

some are sketchy

primal mirage
heady urchin
#

the middle one right?

primal mirage
#

Yeah that works

heady urchin
#

i think my thermal paste worked

primal mirage
#

Ok so there's def a functioning sensor there

#

When you updated to the latest driver, did you uninstall the previous driver using ddu

heady urchin
#

So if there's no temperature sensor then there will be no "GPU Temperature"

heady urchin
primal mirage
#

GPU driver

heady urchin
#

I have the very latest driver

primal mirage
#

Nvidia GPU driver

heady urchin
#

i dont have the previous driver

#

im good to go

#

i guess

primal mirage
#

You updated to the latest driver right

heady urchin
#

yes

primal mirage
#

Did you run ddu to uninstall the previous driver

#

That conflict might be what's causing the GPU temps to not show in task manager

heady urchin
#

I dont have previous driver

#

again

primal mirage
#

You do

heady urchin
#

no

#

hear me out

primal mirage
#

When you install windows

#

It auto installs a GPU driver

heady urchin
#

HEAR ME OUT

#

yes

#

it does

#

i can tell i dont have it already

#

using the control panel

primal mirage
#

All I'm asking is, when you updated your driver, did you run DDU

heady urchin
#

im installing ddu

primal mirage
#

Bc if you didn't, then there's a good chance that's why the GPU temp is not showing on task manager

heady urchin
#

i can find out all drivers when i run ddu right?

#

i deleted the hwinfo cuz im done

primal mirage
#

Ddu wipes your computer of all traces of ever having a GPU driver

heady urchin
#

like

#

everywhere

#

like in the files

#

program

#

folders about nvidia

primal mirage
#

Yes, that's why it's the recommended way of updating drivers

#

Bc when you uninstall via control panel or any other way, theres random shit that doesn't get deleted

heady urchin
#

I know

#

I can manually delete those

primal mirage
#

No it's mainly registry values that need to be wiped

heady urchin
#

view and then hidden items

#

ah

primal mirage
#

Run ddu and then reinstall the latest drivers, the temp should hopefully pop up in control panel

heady urchin
#

send me a link for download

#

cuz

#

some sketchy websites

primal mirage
#

Bottom of the page has mirrors

heady urchin
#

Okay let's not talk here, There's a filter going around
