Question

Adverse interaction between PSE and two graphics cards?

I have a HP Envy TE01-1020 (whose specs far exceed what's needed to run PSE) and do photo editing on Photoshop Elements 18 (2020).  I want to replace the PC's integrated GPU with a dedicated card.  I speaking with HP, they said that they had conflicting information about the interaction between PSE and the PC when there are two cards present.  Anyone know about this potential problem?  I'm really not sure if there would be a problem as I've been told that if I add a new card to my 10th gen 7i CPU, the integrated card would automatically be disabled??? Thanks.

HP can go kick rocks.  A non issue.

When you add a video card, yes, the integrated one typically gets kicked to the curb, unloved and forgotten. 

Due to alot of cosntraints on cofiguarability I always tell people using two video cards are you described is not possible.  I wouldn't waste my time with it. 

You're not going to able to use the integrated video and the add on video card at the same time to get superduper fast video stuff.

I'm not into using two cards at the same time. I only want the dedicated card to work, which appears to be the case as it has been noted that the PC will automatically disable the integrated card.  Also, I won't be doing video, so a new dedicated card should speed up the still photo editing. So, now I have to find a card that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

The GPU card is very rarely used in Photoshop Elements. You can check that by having a look at your task bar. So, dont expect it to speed up your photo editing.
