# GPU‑Switcher

A tiny Windows tray utility that activates the laptop’s (or any PC, really) discrete GPU (dGPU) on launch and keeps it awake until exit. I needed an easy way to force dGPU display rendering without performance impact. This should allow low-latency streaming for games and a quick toggle to test and run apps on either the iGPU or dGPU for dual-graphics laptops that are difficult to manage.
