Dedicated Mode?

[matt22207]

Thanks for this one!

Why is Dedicated GPU mode disabled?

Thanks again!

oh am sorry for that but i thought i won't use so i disabled it , ill update the extension soon so that dGPU mode will be available

[matt22207]

Awesome, thanks!

I don't use dGPU mode too often, but if I want to sneak a few extra FPS, I can sometimes get another 5-10% (although I haven't tested the difference in a while)..

(although I haven't tested the difference in a while)..

actually thats true , but i still want to implement other modes cause there are more like ( Integrated Hybrid supergfxctl VFIO supergfxctl AsusEgpu AsusMuxDgpu ) so the extension can change to any mode if it was supported by the host

i got final exams these days so ill continue later <3

i guess dedicated mode is not support any more by Supergfxctl

@chikobara , I think Dedicated/Discrete mode is just called "AsusMuxDgpu" now, right? Here's what my GPU supports:

$ supergfxctl -v 5.2.1

$ supergfxctl -s [Integrated, Hybrid, AsusMuxDgpu]

After switching:

$ supergfxctl -s [AsusMuxDgpu]

$ asusctl bios -d Bios GPU MUX: 0

-D Switch GPU MUX mode: 0 = Discrete, 1 = Optimus, reboot required

Odd that after switching to AsusMuxDgpu mode, "supergfxctl -s" only shows that single option now. However, I can still switch back using "supergfxctl -m Hybrid" even though that mode doesn't show up in the supported list.

Yep AsusMuxDgpu is the DGPU mode, but you can't actually change to dgpu directly you need to switch to Hybrid first then switch to igpu or dgpu or anything else

can you confirm that the extension now shows these mods if you device supports it, and can you confirm that it blocks the direct switching from dgpu to igpu unless hybrid is between

thank you

• When in Hyrid mode, the extension shows [Integrated, Hybrid, AsusMuxDgpu] available, and allows switching to any other mode.

• When in Integrated mode, the extension shows [Integrated, Hybrid, AsusMuxDgpu] available, and allows switching to any other mode.

• When in AsusMuxDgpu mode, the extension shows only [AsusMuxDgpu] and does not allow switching to any other mode. In AsusMuxDgpu mode, supergfxctl at the command line also only shows [AsusMuxDgpu], but will execute a switch properly to Hybrid or Integrated.

Thank you for confirming, so, I guess it worked fine !
