Hey guys, I got an upgrade a few days ago on my processor, and it seems that it is using the integrated graphics instead of my gpu and giving me really bad fps whenever I try to play anything. I checked on the device manager and it says my gpu is connected, and it detected the card when I updated my drivers. But I did notice that when I tried to open the Nvidia Control Panel, it says "You are not currently using a display attached to a Nvidia GPU" So I have no idea what the problem is.

MOBO: Asrock z77 extreme 4
GPU: MSI Gtx 560 ti
CPU: Intel i5 3570

Follow the cord from your monitor and if it goes into the panel where there are USB ports, that is the motherboard. You want the monitor to be connected to the graphics card which is the one that will have DVI or HDMI ports.
