Hybrid Graphics (Device-Dependent); Change Graphics Mode - Fujitsu AMILO Operating Manual

Working with the notebook

Hybrid graphics (device-dependent)

If your Notebook is equipped with a hybrid graphics solution, you can switch between
battery-saver and performance mode by clicking the Quick Start button.
Use the graphics unit integrated in the chip set for applications which are
less graphics-intensive, such as video playback, e-mail and Internet surfing.
This reduces heat generation, noise levels and power consumption. As a
result, battery life is increased (battery saver mode).
If you require a high level of performance, for example, for games, you can
switch to the external graphics unit (performance mode).

Change graphics mode

In your notebook, the external graphics mode is preconfigured ex works (performance mode).
A device connected to an HDMI port of your notebook (FullHD resolution, device-dependent)
can only be activated in performance mode via the external graphics unit.
If programs are active which influence the output of graphics (e.g. games or
TV software), it may not always be possible to switch between the modes.
Close the relevant programs before switching over.
The process of switching between modes can take several seconds.
