Switches the screen's refresh rate. When playing games or watching videos, use the high refresh rate. When browsing web pages or using office apps, switch to the low refresh rate to save battery power.
Switches between different operation modes.
The Quiet Mode is desirable when using the PC in a quiet environment, such as a public library.
The Balance Mode is flexible and suitable for many usage scenarios. The power consumption limits for the GPU and CPU are dynamically balanced to achieve optimal performance.
The Performance Mode is where you go for games, especially action games. It offers the highest power consumption limit and, as a result, the best achievable performance.
In Lenovo Vantage, you can set the computer to operate in different GPU working modes.
Hybrid Mode is the no-brainer choice. The system dynamically switches the active graphics card, striking a balance between graphics performance and power consumption.
If your current task is confined to casual web browsing and word processing, consider switching to Hybrid-iGPU Only Mode. This not only saves power but also creates a "quiet" work environment.
In dGPU Mode, all graphics-related tasks go to the discrete graphics card, generating the best possible graphics performance.
Operating system restart is needed to switch to dGPU Mode.
