My laptop is an Alienware M14x - R2, i am having some problems running certain video games almost as if i don't have sufficient video memory. On my laptop there are 2 video cards: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 & nVidia Geforce GT 650M. I'v already tried to change it using the nVidia control panel (set the option GLOBAL, so that every application will use my Geforce) but I don't think its working because on certain games i have huge framerate drops.
Just like the title says i can not change it trough BIOS because i simply do not have any option regarding any of the video cards.
Also tryed disabling the on board Intel graphics card - useless, after restart windows runed on software video and it made things worst... like i couldn't even run nVidia CP or start any aplication that required direct X.
Same story with uninstalling the Intel Driver, windows update just keeps reinstalling always after restart. (but i think that disabling or uninstalling the Intel drivers for the video card just wont be enough, i need to make the Laptop somehow use the 1GB dedicatev video memory from nVidia).
If necesary i can also provide the name of the Game I most likely want to play so you can check on the minimum specs, also i can provide my laptop specs (i'm not an IT engineer but i know a few things about these machines
)
Thank you in advance if any questions please let me know i will do all i can to assist in trying to help me!
