Brave Browser uses wrong GPU

Browser Support Desktop Support

I found a working solution to this…
Turns out, there are two different control panels that will pick what GPU to use:

  • NVidia Control Panel
  • Windows Graphics Settings

To select integrated GPU for Brave:

  • Run “Settings”
  • Type in “Graphics Settings”
  • There will be an application list, click Browse…
  • Select Brave’s EXE file (usually “C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe”)
  • Click on the entry
  • Click Options button
  • Select “Power Saving” (for the integrated GPU), click Save

Now Brave will use the correct GPU.
