8700G / Win10 Task Manager

Not seeing GPU listed in Task Manager in Windows 10.  GPU was listed for 5700G, am guessing this is not an intended feature. Please see below.

Odd, if you don't have a separate GPU Card install it should be showing the IGPU even if you don't have any AMD Driver installed since it would be using MS Basic Display Adapter driver.

See if in Device Manager under "Display' it is showing the 8700G IGPU or not?

Try installing the latest 8700G AMD Driver from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/apu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-7-8000-g-series-desktop-processors...

Here is the above linked driver that now includes support for the 8000G Series APU processors: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-24-1-1

  • New Product Support
    • AMD Radeon™ RX 7600 XT
    • AMD Ryzen™ 8000G Series Desktop Processors 

Important Notes

  • For users that game remotely with AMD Link, one important announcement is that AMD is ending support for the AMD Link software. We originally launched AMD Link at a time when there were few alternative remote gaming solutions for Radeon graphics users. Today, there are many options available for users to stream their PC content to other devices. AMD’s role is to enable and support developers, not compete with them. As such, we are ending support for AMD Link and focusing our resources on other core capabilities and features that benefit users. We will also continue to support developers with our SDKs such as the AMD Advanced Media Framework that allow them to enable streaming functionality within their solutions.
  • For users who previously installed an AMD Software preview driver, running AMD Cleanup Utility is recommended before installing this driver.
  • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.1.1 will now automatically clear previously installed drivers located in the C:\AMD folder to save space.

Great to hear that AMD Driver will now delete the previous AMD Installation folder which Nvidia started doing last year or so by the Nvidia Driver deleting the created C:\Nvidia folder. Not only will it save Drive space but also prevent future AMD drivers from being corrupted or in conflict while being installed in the future.

I notice that it has a 780M IGPU which has been having some issues with other Users. See if by installing the latest AMD driver the 780M IGPU shows up in Device Manager and thus under Windows Task Manager.

Thanks elstaci, it was indeed a driver. Have not done a build in a while, and given on/part of the chip just didn't think of it. Thanks again!
