A common issue with those hybrid graphics is that it simply doesn't switch and only uses one. Are you sure you're not just using either integrated graphics or your dedicated GPU all the time?
This sounds so obvious but I've seen "news" articles on Lemmy with titles that are on par with Fox news when it comes to playing into what people want to hear.
I don't really prefer it. I just buy gaming mice because they have more buttons and disable the RGB.
