Dedicated Graphics Card Doesn't show in dxdiag.

wussification · Dec 11, 2013

I have a msi GE60 laptop, which has both an integrated (intel HD 4000) and a dedicated (nvdia gtx 660m) graphics card. I'm almost positive that unless I am doing anything graphic intensive the laptop uses the integrated card, but whenever I do something intensive, such as gaming, the gtx automatically turns on. Meaning, obviously, that it is not always using the gtx to save battery power. Whenever I go into dxdiag my gtx doesn't show up, only the integrated. I also could not get cpu-z to find the graphics card as well. As of recent I got the gtx to show up on CPU-z, but it still will not show on dxdiag. Is this a major problem? Is it a problem at all? How could I fix it?

In Laptop ur GPU automatically switch between Dedicated Graphics and integrated graphics according to usage of GPU needed....this feature is to save Power consumption of ur laptop.....so no need to worry.....If it need higher GPU power....it automatically switches to Dedicated Graphics

If your NOT in a 3d - Graphics game the system uses the Intel. So any software (CPUZ, etc.) will see the Intel on, no the GTX. This is normal and your just overworrying.
