Mobo bios version 1001/1003
Bios menu entry to enable/disable integrated (cpu) graphics is missing. There is no way to manually enable or disable integrated graphics in the bios, or set it to auto.
A week ago on bios 1001, I’ve installed Windows, w/o using a discrete graphics card in the freshly built system, using the integrated graphics (cpu) instead with a 1920x1080 monitor. All good. Installed apps, made an image.
Mounted a RTX2080 Super (awaiting RTX5080), hooked up to my ultra widescreen 5120x1440 monitor. All good. Dual screens.
RTX2080: 5120x1440 main monitor
CPU iGPU: 1920x0180 secondary monitor
Use case: While still on the RTX2080 for now, I’d like to use the CPU’s iGPU for my 2nd monitor, since the outdated RTX2080 is the system’s bottleneck. So I do not want to load that up more than I have to.
Now, at one point, upon loading bios defaults later and performing a “Save Changes & Reset”: There was a listing of all the variables which were going to be reset, including “Integrated Graphics”.
Updated the bios from 1001 to 1003, was looking to turn the iGPU back on. Could not find it anywhere in the sub menus.
Also, when one performs a (F9) search for “Integrated Graphics” in the bios, nothing.
I can’t enable the CPU’s iGPU. Is this a thing on current AM5 platforms? Working as intended, or a design fault?
(My last build was a Z97-Deluxe with i7-4790K, back in 2014. That one allowed iGPU enabling/disabling from the bios.)
