Hey all, I just received my new desktop PC earlier today and for some reason it wont use its graphics card.
The card itself, a GT 740 is appearing in the device manager alongside an "intel HD 4400" which I guess is an integrated thing.
I checked DXdiag and my PC only seems to be recognising the intel graphics, as do the games I just installed, which caused them to barely run.
How to I get my PC to utilise the GT 740 card instead?
I just installed the nvidia driver software from a disc that came with the PC and this didn't seem to visibly change anything.
If I try to access nvidia control panel I get the message "you are not currently using a display connected to an nvidia GPU".
Bizarrely the "GeForce experience" software mentions a 700 series card being present with a green tick next to it.
I have windows 10, 8 GB ram and an I3 processor, not changed any settings since taking the pc out the box earlier.
Thanks
