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.

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.
