Graphic Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB has is not upgraded after Big Sur is installation

MacBook Pro - mid 2014, Retina, 15-in - Graphic Intel Iris Pro 1536MB:


Upgraded the system into Big Sur when the new version of OS was released and now with an upgrade from Adobe Lightroom the system is crashing. Adobe said the Graphics need to be upgraded. Since this should upgrade with the installation of Big Sur, and it is at Intel Iris Pro 1536MB, how can I get an update?

Your laptop has a discrete NVidia GPU in addition to the Intel Iris GPU.

I believe macOS has a GPU setting for performance as described in this Apple article:

Are you using any third party apps that are restricting the GPU to the Intel one?
