I am noticing two different GPUs on my system: AMD Radeon Graphics and a physical Nvidia RTX 3060 but my concern is how do i fully turn off or disable the AMD Integrated Graphics when i already use a physical Nvidia video card and i'm not entirely sure where to look on how to fully turn that AMD GPU off.

Hello, :alien:

There's usually a UEFI/BIOS setting available to disable the integrated GPU. Option Two in the tutorial below can help show an example.

i've tried that option, but it still shows up as installed on here, as I am using an AMD System but there isn't a AMD card installed inside my PC.

Usually an integrated GPU is part of the CPU or a chip on the motherboard instead.

Are you able to use option one to disable it instead?

Yes, but what's the proper method, so it doesn't show up like for example, in Task Manager.

Disabling it and saving your changes in UEFI/BIOS usually removes it. Device Manager disables.

Task Manager shows running processes instead though. If something is still running, then it could be for a driver or software that needs to be uninstalled.

I would confirm that your monitor is attached to the back of the Nvidia card and not the integrated AMD graphics (the connector for the integrated AMD chip is going to be on the motherboard). As long as there's nothing connected to the AMD port, it won't be using any resources regardless of whether it appears to be installed.

Sounds like you're good to go! (y) By the way, I have an Nvidia board also, and I found the Nvidia app for Windows. It notifies when there are driver updates and offers a number of configuration features.
