How can I tell Remix which graphics card to use? - Remix OS for PC

My laptop has both integrated and Nvidia graphics. In benchmarks (3D Mark) my laptop using integrated graphics scored higher than every Android device except the Shield X1 console thing. But I want to use my dedicated card instead for futureproofing because I play a lot of intensive games and they will get more demanding in the future. Is there a way to force Remix to use my dedicated card. Or is it an option that could be added in a future update?

Please use search.. "remixos Nvidia"
Try this...
At boot edit grub add:
I915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=1
After "quite"
Goodluck

Hybrid Graphics - Can you select one card?

I have integrated Intel Graphics on my motherboard which works absolutely fine with Remix but I also have an Nvidia card that does not work that well with it. I have a dual boot setup and ideally would use the Nvidia for Windows and the Intel for Remix.
I know I can manually switch in the Bios but that's not the neatest of solutions.
My Bios does allow both cards to be used at the same time, but when doing to Remix won't boot (stuck at the Android x64...) bit.
Is there anything I can do via the grub to tell it to ignore the PCI-E GPU and hopefully get it to boot?
Thanks!
set in grub i915.modeset=1 for intel gpu and set noveau.modeset=1 for nvidia gpu
hope that works.
Edit: idk if it will work with pci-e gpu, but it should work with dual integrated gpu like in notebook

Thank you so much - it was as easy as that! I'd been playing with various modest parameters trying to get the nvidia working but hadn't clocked that I could force a gpu using it too. Works perfectly!

Would Remix OS perform better than Remix OS Player?

Hello,
I've recently installed Remix OS Player on my PC but it hasn't met that image on my mind, it was very laggy and had a long mouse delay.
My PC specs are,
CPU: i3-4130
RAM: 8GB 1600Mhz
GPU: AMD Radeon r9 270x
SSD: Intel 60GB
HDD: WD Green 2TB
I didn't want to start downloading games as I was afraid they would be also laggy so I thought that installing Remix OS itself as an OS would be much better (2 cores instead of 1, 8GB RAM instead of 3, etc.)
Would it be smooth? Should I install it on the HDD or remove my windows from SSD and install it there? I'm not looking to replace my windows just it's location.
I'm sorry if this is kind of spamming the forum I thought I'd get help directly from users.
@Iamhady Remix OS Player is an emulator which implies far lower performance when compared to system ran natively on the machine.
Remix OS for PC is a full OS and it will definitely run faster than Player. On your specific device it should run very fast regardless of whether u install it on HDD or SSD.
Of course SSD will provide even better performance, but that's just up to you.
Have in mind that Remix will most likely utilize your integrated graphics card instead of the dedicated Radeon.
You can always install Remix to a USB stick and boot from it as a test.
Once you boot Remix on your device, go to settings, about tablet and scroll down to find OPENGL renderer. If it's Intel mesa/i915 than OK, if it's radeon - even better. If it's Intel, you can test if Remix can use the dedicated graphics card by adding EXTMOD=radeon to kernel line in grub menuentry (u can find how to do that on that forum or in Google).
Good luck

@Vioner thank you for the info! Glad to know so before downloading Remix OS.
I'll try installing it on a USB stick first and see how that goes.
As for the graphics I wouldn't mind if it uses the integrated graphics as long as it can run any Android game with a playable frame rate. But I really hope it can use the GPU for games like Mortal Kombat X and other GPU intensive games.
I've started downloading it!

You have luckily downloaded it in the last version day
Farewell, Remix OS. (Focusing on enterprise, huh.)

what is game driver?

I need help with the new Android 10 feature in setting called game driver. What is it? How does it work? And how can I use it properly?
Maybe it's vulkan.
Try enabling it for games.
Some old games perform worse for me.
Here's a brief article - someone else speculating that it's a gaming mode, accelerating graphics https://www.notebookcheck.net/Andro...erformance-for-the-Pocophone-F1.451260.0.html
