Hello everyone smarter than me!
Turns out I'm dumber than I thought, because I can't seem to make my new laptop work the way I want it to. I have an ASUS GL-502VY laptop, which has both an i7 6700hq and a nvidia gtx 980m. By default, the 980m kicked in, and I got pretty horrible battery life, even with everything turned down. On my last laptop, this could be solved by switching to the integrated gpu from intel- but for whatever reason, this laptop refuses to show me where it is.
The device manager screen only has the 980m under display adapters, going to intel's driver update utility shows nothing for the graphics being required, and deliberately installing the Intel HD 530 graphics drivers for Windows 10 64bit (my os) comes up with a message stating something along the lines of "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this".
In short, I'm trying to use the igpu, and cannot find out how. Right now, I simply have it disabled, though I assume that probably doesn't work the way I'm hoping it works, and isn't nearly as easy as switching to the igpu from the nvidia control panel, which is how I used to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
