Hello everyone,
I am having a most annoying problem with my LENOVO laptop, and I have hoped you may be able to help me.
The thing is that my laptop would not use my dedicated GPU.
Technical specifications:
Processor Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ Processor (2.60GHz 1600MHz 6MB)
Operating System Windows 10
Memory 8.0GB
Graphics NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 960M
I have already disabled the integrated GPU, reinstalled drivers (several times (DDU included)). Yet if the integrated GPU is disabled, computer acts as no GPU is in a state to be used, though the device manager sees it.
I am unable to open NVIDIA Control Panel as it drops an error: "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU".
Any suggestions?
