Presently have 4 screens for general productivity;
- 2 screens (HDMI & DVD-D) off Intel HD 2000 iGPU
- 2 screens (HDMI & DVD-D) off Nvidia 210 PCI-e x16
My game benchmark always lists the integrated graphics in its results. This even happens when the game is running full screen on the monitor which is connected to the PCI-e card.
I want to upgrade the PCI-e card to get good frame rates on the game, but cannot see any point if the game will always use the Intel iGPU anyway.
My question(s) are:
(1) Is it possible to "force" the game to use the PCI-e card, even though I have iGPU active ?
(2) Is it possible that the game is already using the PCI-e GFX but not reporting it ?
Note: my chipset came out before the "dynamic" system on later Intel Z chipsets.
