How to switch my GPU 0 to GPU 1

Hey there!

Recently, I installed new software for my AMD GPU. So I realized that my actually GPU (AMD Radeon RX 6600) is GPU 0, meaning it was barely being used when I was playing and actually my AMD Radeon Graphics where GPU 1, so they where the main/primary GPU. I tried to search up how to change it but no luck. Will this actually boost game performance? Please help and thanks!

Specs of my PC:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (with graphics)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Devices and drivers

    Like other said, connect your display to motherboard hdmi/ displayport output (which is IGP = GPU 0).

    Let set your apps to use specific GPU (which is GPU 0 OR DGPU = RX 6600= GPU 1) via Windows 11 Settings. Simple!

    I use Windows 11 version 22H2, the option to use which GPU(s) is there in Windows Settings. Not sure about other version of Windows..

    Thank you for the reply! Is there any way I can make it my primary GPU?

    If you using desktop means, connect your monitor to the motherboard and see any adjustment to Switch GPU in bios settings.

    Currently, GPU0 RX6600 is dedicated graphics which is more powerful than builtin GPU1 in processor.
