dri_prime1-detection

Simple script to make verify if desired applications are running with discrete graphics

No Processes using discrete graphics returns as empty.

Processes showing as usng discrete graphics provides process name and ID.

This was put together rather quickly, I welcome clean up/improvements.

Step 1: Download the script to your desired directory.

Step 2: Open a terminal window.

Step 3: Make it executable.

chmod +x amd-prime-dri.sh

Step 4: Run this to detect if the discrete card is used for that application.

sudo sh amd-prime-dri.sh

When to use:

This is likely only needed for Steam. Seems there is a bug where if you launch steam normally, it doesn't launch correctly (Ubuntu or Fedora)

We get past this accordingly.

• Activities, search for Steam.
• Right click, launch with integrated graphics.

     

With Steam open.

• Locate your game installed already or install it.
• Right click on the game, goto properties.

     

Launch options section

• Place the following into your launch options, to ensure you are using the discreete GPU and not the integated GPU for your game.

DRI_PRIME=1 %command%

• Close the General box at the X, there is no save button or anything like that.
