After installing Manjaro this week I’ve been stuck with this problem. My machine refuses to use it’s graphics card correctly, only uses it’s base Intel GPU and overuses my I5 to compensate.
When only using the browser and other light applications it is fine, but when trying to use some heavier programs like an substitute for AutoCAD, it barely moves, lags heavily and crashes.
I need my PC to use it’s dedicated GPU.
On the configurations and terminal it recognizes the card, but when using $ lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E “(VGA|3D)” to see what is in use it only shows Intel.
It is not a problem of switching the units since it doesn’t switch and its creating a huge bottleneck on my system.
Let me know if any more information on process is needed.
I really need help solving this, my PC was working very fine until it didn’t no more.
