Questions about HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-EC0005NG

Hello, the answer might be a bit late, but for next time :). As far as I know, APUS are there to support the CPU or the graphics card. They lead to faster data processing and lower power consumption. In itself, the Nvidia driver should be sufficient. An Accelerated Processing Unit (APU, also Advanced Processing Unit) is a processor (CPU) that, apart from the usual processor tasks, also contains other tasks such as those of the graphics card (by means of a GPU). Often in such APUs, the graphics unit is also intended to be used as a GPGPU (general-purpose GPU), which usually means that this processor unit is primarily used for floating-point operations: in this area, graphics cards are far superior to CPUs. APUs can also contain field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which allow the processor to perform particularly well in special task areas (for which the FPGA was specifically programmed). The advantages of integrating the components on a single die are, on the one hand, the short wiring paths, which lead to an increase in data transfer rates, and, on the other hand, energy savings of up to 50%. Examples of such APUs are the AMD Accelerated Processing Unit, Cell, Intel HD Graphics, and NVIDIA's Project Denver. source: https://www.computerlexikon.com/was-ist-apu#:~:text=A%20Accelerated%20Processing%20Unit%20(APU,(using%20a%20GPU)%20contains.
