I tried looking everywhere to figure out how to use both of these graphics for maximum performance gain, but I couldn't find anything. This guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y9wKxwoRWE is using both of them and is getting amazing frames.
Laptop: Dell E6430
CPU: I7 3540M
GPU: Nvidia NVS 5200m+Intel HD 4000
RAM: 4GB
 
Solution
in laptop usually the integrated graphics have job in picture output, meanwhile the dedicated gpu will work as renderer, so they basically work together. tweaking settings might help, but for sure remember that pc have their own limits, you cannot force it to always work much better as what you expected. your dedicated gpu were not so strong, especially if you want to run heavy games like gta 5, if you saw in the video he used such a bad resolution, the picture were scratched
