     Hi,


     I'm new here and I just started to play. But I've a problem with my graphic card.
     I'm running it on my laptop Asus with i5 processor(which has own low-energy HD-something Graphics card, dont know which exactly) and nvidia 540M GS.(+6GB RAM) I think it's not bad(Crysis 1 on High details, Crysis 2 too, TDU2 the highiest, Skyrim about medium, but with large view range...I think I can run almost every newer game) and I was looking forward to see some nice graphics. Like in pictures and videos.
     But despite all my efforts, Game is still running on Intel Graphics card.     even if I in Nvidia Control panel in 'Manage 3D settings' (or something like that, I'm from Czech Republic and I have it in Czech    ) try to add this app, there's no way how to change settings as with other programs.Of course, I have preffered Nvidia and it's telling me that it is using Nvidia.
     But in-game, it's telling me it's running on Itel card and I have to play with minimum details, which isn't what I was expecting. (36FPS max when I'm looking to the sky    )


     Please, can anybody help me? 


     I'm sorry if I did (or will do) some misspellings, my English is not perfect ( yet  ).
       And I hope I chose good title for this topic

Thanks for idea but..as you may know, notebooks don't have much usefull bioses (I can change date/time, booting device priority and some other things associated with HDD, nothing more). I'm downloading newest drivers for Nvidia right now and i hope it will work.


btw: I just noticed, despite the fact it is running on Intel gr. but Nvidia GPU Activity tray is showing AW running on Nvidia. So I hope it's drivers problem

So there is nothing I can do about it till some update?

You can attempt to disable one of your video cards in Device Manager and see the results.

Andrew said he had limited option to designate graphics control in the BIOS, i just made a suggestion that was a potential alternate to the BIOS suggestion.
I have on many occassions disabled one of two adapters in DM.When fault finding i try all relevant avenues  if assumptions dont bare fruit.
CPU graphics makes things a little different though.

Disabling the on-board graphics has unfortunate side effects due to the computer trying to boot with an 'unknown' graphics device.
If I remember right, when I tried this on another PC - Survival still tries to identify the graphics card and really does not like having it being 'unknown'.
In the end - I re-enabled the on-board graphics and trusted Nvidia to do what it says it was doing.
