Joe_Carrick Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 My Laptop has an NVidea GT780 GPU but the system indicates that the Intel HD4800 is controlling the display. How do I change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Try the Nvidia control panel for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Intel motherboards have a setting you can access in the BIOS to select the "primary video adapter". You can select "internal graphics" and you will be using the onboard graphics from the motherboard, or you can select "external PCIe graphics" and you will be using whatever video card you have plugged into your motherboard.

Bill_Emery Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi Joe, Right click on the desktop to bring up the Nvidia control panel, choose the program settings tab, and select the programs you would like to use the Nvidia card. The default setting is for the computer is to have the on board graphics card as the primary. I have kept my laptop with this configuration to take advantage of Intel's power saving features, while stile being able to use the Nvidia card when I need it. The downside of running the on board card as primary is that you don't get the full Nvidia control panel, which can be frustrating at times.
