  • Then if I run gimp or any other graphics dependent software, will the graphics card be used? When I launch firefox, the window shown black for a little time, seeing this I have fallen in confusion that whether the graphics card is in use.

  • As mentioned it states the amdgpu driver is enabled. However, you are on a hybrid system. What does the Details for system info under Settings say? I expect it probably lists the Intel graphics as being used.
