Performance—The Performance tab has the option to enable or disable the MUX Switch. A MUX switch (or Multiplexer) is a physical switch in the motherboard that lets you disable the integrated graphics (iGPU) in your gaming laptop so your computer can take full advantage of the more powerful discrete graphics (dGPU). This gives you a performance boost while gaming, however, it comes at the expense of shorter battery life. For the best gaming experience, Dell Technologies recommends enabling this feature while your computer is connected to the AC adapter. When you enable MUX Switch iGPU is disabled, and the computer can take full advantage of the dGPU.
