I have two Benq monitors connected to my Acer Aspire V3 571 G laptop. One monitor is connected through VGA port and the other through hdmi port. I want to make all my three displays to show up.

I have one Intel HD Graphics 4000 video card and one Nvidia Geforce 630 M dedicated video card. This is an image taken from nvidia control panel:

As you see, my laptop built in monitor and one of my benq monitors are connected at Intel video card and the other one is not connected!

I want to connect the other Benq monitor to my Geforce video card.


Is this possible?


Thank you respectfully.

To me that sounds like the Intel and Nvidia graphics units are overlapping each other. What is the primary graphics device? Also I used to have this issue with an old AMD GPU laptop so it can be just the graphics brand I don't think.

My primary graphics device is the Intel HD video card. Also, in BIOS the graphics mode is set to Switchable, so the dedicated video card (nVidia) starts to run when the CPU needs more GPU power, I think.
