I used to have a motherboard from ASUS(a320m-k) and a a8-9600 APU and used it with a dGPU (zotac 1070 mini currently, but used also others before that) to mine crypto while using the APU onboard graphics to work and play games. I then decided to go for better m/b with more full size pci-e slots and a better APU so i bought a gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 and a ryzen 5 2400g.
Here is a list with problems and questions;
a) I cannot use auto in uefi to boot with iGPU, i need to force it. If i leave it on auto, it still chooses the dGPU even though i have the HDMI cable connected on the motherboard.
b) whenever i try to mine using the iGPU all seems ok, until i try running any game. I try f.e. to play League of Legends and not only i have lots of stuttering in medium settings but also it seems that somehow it interferes with the zotac dGPU and my hashrate lowers about 5-10%. This is something i did not experience with the asus m/b and a8-9600 cpu. The gaming experience was better and no interference with hashrate, even though it is a worse APU. Also in MSI afterburner there are no real values for the dGPU usage, temperature, only for the cpu and the dGPU, while on task managers it shows iGPU usage. While i mine there is no dGPU usage showed on windows task manager but all is showing OK for dGPU in MSI afterburner.
The procedure i used to install is the following. After installing windows 10 latest version provided by Microsoft, i first installed the latest chipset drivers from amd, then the latest radeon drivers and last the nvidia drivers.
c) I have read in several reddit forums that the soc voltage should be not left at auto in xmp profile for my ram, but rather lower it to +0.000. What do you think?
Please i need a solution for (b) ASAP and some answers for (a) and (c) if possible! I also contacted gigabyte and amd asking the same questions. I hope i can get a response from them also.
