This document pertains to HP and Compaq Notebook PCs.
Notebook computers with a switchable graphics feature have two graphics adapter chipsets - a low power, integrated chipset and a high performance, discrete chipset. Although the exact chipsets on your computer varies depending on model; the low power chipset is usually manufactured by Intel or AMD and the high performance chipset is usually manufactured by ATI Mobility Radeon or AMD.
HP computers with switchable graphics provide the following benefits to mobile computing:
-
When handling less demanding applications, the computer conserves power for longer battery life.
-
When using graphics-intense applications such as games, the discrete graphics processor enables higher performance.
