i have tried multiple things and read a few forums about it but when i try to enable the integrated iGPU in my cpu it does not show up anywhere.

i have turned it on in the BIOS and tried updating the drivers, while installing graphics drivers i got the message ''you do not have the minimum amount of specs'' or something like that, probably because my system doesn't even detect the iGPU

i basically want to use my Nvidia GTX 660 Ti for processing the games i play and use the iGPU at the same time for encoding.

the CPU is a Intel i5-2320 @ 3,7 GHz with Intel HD Graphics 2000 (it has Quick sync)

so is it possible? and if so, how do i get it to work?
i heard taking out the GTX GPU and first setting up the iGPU would work but i don't feel like taking the thing out if not necessary :)

other info that might be of help:
Full system specs: check signature.
CPU is overclocked.
GTX GPU has 2 displays on it.
i will be using the Quick Sync in the iGPU together with OBS streaming software for the encoding.

thank you for reading and answering :)

why not use shadow play, it would be a lot higher quality and faster, plus there should be no performance penalty since the gpu has dedicated encoders on it, that do nothing while you are gaming, also would make it a lot simpler.
As for the integrated gpu, is your task manager detecting it, check with gpuz if it sees it once it's turned on in bios, also make sure you are downloading drivers meant for sandy bridge

i don't use shadow play because i need to use the scene selection in OBS.
it doesn't show up in device manager and gpuz does not find it either, i tried the driver installer once again and it still gives the same error; ''this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software''
