Well I am not using XOrg, I am using Wayland. 
Also there is nothing in the link that you have specified. What am I suppose to do once I open the link ?

My laptop model is the HP-ac179tx.

It has an AMD Radeon R5 M330 Graphics (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) GPU which is currently not being used by Wayland Gnome in Fedora.

This is the output of:
$ lspci | grep -i VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] (rev 07)

As you can see it is operating on the in-built Intel Graphics. I want all display operations to happen through the AMD GPU, is that possible?

Now, I know video card drivers has always been a dicey topic, where there is no stable drivers, just softwares that fail a little less than other counterparts.

So, I have a few questions:

1) I am using Gnome-Wayland. Are there at all any video card drivers out there for Wayland ?
2) To use video drivers is it necessary to switch to XOrg ?
3) Is it possible to transfer all display operations to the GPU ? Like my desktop has the monitor connected to the GPU directly, which means all display is handled by the GPU. Is something similar possible here?

I did try installing the AMDGPU-Pro Driver from here:

But it fails with the error:
No match for argument: amdgpu
Error: Unable to find a match: amdgpu

Also Fedora was even listed in page, so I guess that means that it is not supported.

Some relevant diagnostic information about my laptop:

$ sudo kmod list | grep amd
amdgpu               5308416  0
amd_iommu_v2           20480  1 amdgpu

mesa-libxatracker-19.2.8-1.fc31.x86_64
mesa-vulkan-drivers-19.2.8-1.fc31.x86_64

Lastly, I have LVM snapshotting enabled, so I should be able to try out things so long as they don't involve my /boot and /boot/efi directories as they are not included in the LVM.

Let me know what is the best course of action here.

Thanks.

Hi Sreyan,

First thought, check the bios see if you can disable the onboard / intel card?

Cheers
