Description
First and foremost consider this:
- Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
- This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented
Description
I have a Dell G5 with a 4800H cpu (with integrated graphics) and a RX 5600M discrete graphics card. Retroarch will not use the discrete graphics card. Disabling the integrated graphics causes retroarch to crash when starting up or when loading a game depending on the video driver.
Expected behavior
retroarch to use discrete GPU
Actual behavior
Retroarch uses integrated gpu
Steps to reproduce the bug
Use retroarch with hybrid Amd laptop gpu

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the issue on the stated Dell G5 Windows setup with the RX 5600M and integrated GPU, comparing the available video drivers. Done means RetroArch selects the discrete GPU and does not crash when the integrated graphics are disabled.
