Abstract

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an interface, an integrated graphical processing unit (GPU), a discrete GPU, and a controller. The interface is to receive a connection to an external display device. The integrated GPU and the discrete GPU are communicatively coupled to the interface. The controller is communicatively coupled to the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU and is to deactivate the discrete GPU and activate the integrated GPU in response to detection of the external display device connected to the interface.
