Using amd gpu for unity editor instead of intel gpu (core i5)

Unity Engine
1

So i can’t figure out how to tell my amd gpu or lets better say the driver to be active when using the unity editor.
The driver provides this little piece of software where i can decide for each .exe application if it should use the slow intel gpu which is built in the cpu or to use the dedicated amd gpu which is much faster.

Obviously, for everything related to 3d and gaming i alredy set to use the amd gpu.
Nevertheless, the unity editor still uses the intel one. I used a tool to check the gpu load of both gpu s and the intel one is used while the amd one remains at 0%.
The built exe of the project (all projects) is then rendered with the amd gpu, as i set this .exe to work with the amd gpu in the driver and this works well.

So is have an intel hd 4000 and an amd radeon hd 7730m built into a dell inspiron laptop.
I use the latest drivers.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this or experienced the same issue with an intel/amd combination?

It might depend on your driver… I have to look at how I did this on my Dell laptop. There was a setting that I changed and I actually told it to use my AMD GPU as default so it uses it for everything now.

i’ve been searching for an option like this forever…
would be nice if you can tell me the trick

Doh… dunno what I was thinking. I have an NVidia card built in and the setting is part of the NVidia control panel. Not sure for ATI / AMD

well… so my search continues :wink:
