I put in a an AMD RX 550 graphics card in my computer. The integrated AMD R7 made this quite a task for me as it would not recognize the graphics card and download drivers. I finally worked that out and it is installed and seems to be working well. When i go into task manger and then performance its shows GPU 0 as AMD R7 and GPU 1 as RX 550. Should they both be running and would it be better to only have the RX 550 running? How do i know my games will run off of the good graphics card and not the integrated? I would think two might be a benefit...but don;t really know enough to make that decision without some expert input? Thank you for taking the time to read this and possibly assist. Oh...and the other reason i am asking is that the radeon settings icon shows up twice in the little "show hidden icons" box at the bottom left of my computer next to the date and time when I look in that box? I know that is not supposed to happen?

So today I wake up and once the computer has booted up I have three "radeon setting" icons in the lower left of my computer. Something is obviously causing several instances of radeon to start. I am assuming the 2 GPU's?
