Steam games using integrated GPU instead of installed external rx580

[seabdc1]

I have set games to use high performance GPU, but when I click to load game(Gta5) it shows loading screen, then right before it shows character, the screen goes black. And if I switch my TV to VGA, it's on there. SPECS: HP elite desk pro, Intel i5-4570, Intel hd 4600(integrated) and a Rx 580 as external/dedicated gpu all on windows 10

[_I_]

complete specs?

and dont make a new thread, just add the specs to the other one

I have HDMI hooked up to Rx 580 and the VGA I just didn't unhook it

rx 580 does not have any analog outputs (vga or dvi-a or dvi-i)
what digital to analog converter are you using

the i5 4570 is a desktop cpu
you should not need an external gpu at all

if you have a dedicated gpu, there is no reason to plug any displays into the mobo

Turn off the PC
Hook up the HDMI to the RX 580
No other video connections.
Power on the PC

Download + Install latest GPU Driver from AMD.com
Restart Windows after it is installed.
Configure AMD Adrenaline software.

Enjoy!

HP elite desk pro, it`s cheap office PC. Most likely too weak power supply meant to use only CPU-integrated graphics. Unless you upgraded the power supply,
RTX 580 is 185W card and needs 6+2 pin or 8-pin PCIe cable from power supply.

It's obviously working.
The reason the game showed on VGA was because he had VGA and HDMI hooked up at the same time. That's like having two displays hooked up; so it was displaying the game over on VGA, the primary display #

I turned computer off and only hook up HDMI to Rx 580, turn computer back on, start game. And after Gta5 loading screen right before it shows character, the screen goes black

I have a separate 400w psu for gpu

Wipe all the GPU Drivers with DDU in Safe Mode (instructions on my Steam Profile > Comments section)

Then reboot, download and install GPU Driver from AMD.com

When you load up GTAV after this, load into GTAV > not GTA Online.
This way you get the full splash screen with options like STORY MODE, OPTIONS; etc.

Then go to Options and double check the Graphics Settings.

To play around with Graphics options, try loading into Story Mode or run the Benchmark. If you do not have any saved game for GTAV Story Mode, you can always download one so you are not forced to play through the game intro parts.

If the game still has issues, might need to go to the game folder; go to Properties for PlayGTAV.exe and GTA5.exe and enable the "Disable Full Screen Optimization" and apply.

Then launch the game and see if the problem is now gone.

cpuz link does not list the igpu, if its using the dedicated card, its not using the igpu
most oem boards disable the igpu when a pic-e gpu is detected

it may just be the psu is not strong enough to run the rx580
make sure it has the pci-e 6+2 power connector plugged into the gpu

[Bad 💀 Motha]

I forgot to mention, when you power off the PC, unhook the VGA from the Motherboard.
Ensure any Display connection (such as HDMI) is only going to the dedicated GPU. Do not connect anything to the Video Out (such as VGA) on the Motherboard Rear I/O

What 400W PSU are you using? Most ATX PSUs below approx 500-600 watts are junk for the most part. Unless it is a decent 80 PLUS rated SFX PSU.

Intel hd 4600

Intel hd 4600

Again that's only used if you plug a Display into that via the Motherboard video outputs.

Plug your Display(s) into the RX 580.
