I have tried to install the NVidia drive but it’s telling me that it’s not compatible ( I have win 7 64 bit , please help me .. how can I get my NVidia GPU to work .) i have tried to check in the bios but it doesn't show anything there

Hi, i have the same problem with the same laptop..
So you want to say, that the laptops monitor is pluged in onboard video card, not video card(nvidia card) so i cant detect it? o_O I am sorry for my bad english, i have tried to uninstall intel graphic and than install nvidia driver as u mentioned, but it didnt work for me..

Theres one yellow question mark at device called "Unknown device", but i searched and its " Lenovo Energy Management.", there are no other unknown devices or not updated devices at all..I also tried to download older version of nvidia drivers, still could not found compatible hw...

I tried to install few versions of drivers (from Lenovo website, nvidia website), still doesnt work, graphic card didnt even show in device manager (also scanned for hardware changes).

Laptop is Lenovo g580 (20150), graphic card should be nVIDIA GeForce 610M Optimus 1GB - switchable

I would not say.. i mean when i play some game, now with intel 4000 its kinda laggy, not exactly FPS lags but... animations are just laggy... i was using 650M before i gave laptop to into servis... and it was amazingly smooth..
