How to choose GPU for each application on Windows 10
Windows 10 now allows users to select GPUs for a specific game or application from the Settings app. Previously, you had to use a special manufacturer tool like NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Catalyst Control Center to assign GPUs to each individual application.
How to assign an application to the GPU
To assign an application to the GPU, go to Settings> System> Display , scroll down and click on the Graphics Settings link.
Select the application you want to configure. To select a traditional desktop game or application with an .exe file, select " Classic app ", click the " Browse " button and then find the .exe file on the system. Most of the application's .exe files are usually in the Program Files folder.

If you want to select a new Universal Universal application, select Universal App, then select the application from the list and click the Add button. These applications are usually installed from Microsoft Store and the file extension is not .exe, called Universal Windows Platform or UWP application.

After adding, the application will appear in the list on the Graphics Settings page, select the application you added and then click the Options button.
System default is the default GPU used for all applications, Power saving refers to low-power GPUs (usually on board video like Intel Graphics) and High performance is a high-performance GPU (usually a discrete graphics card like AMD or NVIDIA).

The exact GPU used for each setting is displayed in this window. If there is only one GPU in the system, you will see the same GPU name under both ' Power saving GPU ' and ' High performance GPU ' options.
Click Save after completing the installation. If the game or application is currently running, you need to restart it to change the settings.
How to check the application GPU is using
To check the application or game GPU that is in use, open Task Manager and activate the ' GPU Engine ' column on the Processes tab. Then you will know which application is using which GPU. You can see which GPU is associated with which number from the Performance tab.
