Force laptop screen to run off dGPU?

Hi, I recently got a second monitor for my setup. I play off of my laptop (Alienware M17 R5 AMD), and use the monitor for everything but gaming. I noticed that when my monitor is plugged in, my fps drops from about 90+ to under 50. It seems plugging in the monitor with hdmi forces the monitor to use the dGPU, while having the laptop screen use the iGPU. I was wondering if there was any way to force the laptop screen to use the dGPU, or if there is nothing I can do to swap which uses the dGPU. Thanks in advance.
