Recently built a PC, and was seriously underwhelmed by its performance for what went into it. Finally checked what was going on, and it turns out it's not actually using the dedicated GPU.

Both Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB are listed in device manager, but dxdiag reveals that the computer is using the Intel card. Disabling Intel did not cause computer to start using NVIDIA. NVIDIA drivers are all up to date.

Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated!

...I can't believe it was that simple. I'm an idiot, thanks @RylieDetchon!
