No programs use the dgpu

Framework Laptop 16 Linux

Everytime I launch a program, even if I have ticked the use dedicated gpu box, the program launches using the integrated graphics. I have also tried adding DRI-PRIME=1 %program% to the command line, as well as a few other suggestions. I’d love any suggestions anyone has, especially for blender3d.

If you mostly want to use dGPU you can set in bios dGPU Only. That will make the laptop run on dGPU all the time as it’s main GPU instead of integrated, but then it probably won’t last long on battery.

Is there anyway to set it so the apps are forced to use the dgpu?

Well bios method solves the problem since then everything uses dGPU.

You can otherwise if it’s windows you use AMD center or w.e it’s called and assign what program to use dGPU or if it’s nvidia you use nvidia control panel.

But for linux don’t know how to do that yet.
