Hello, I know this question gets asked often but I was unable to find one unique to my case.My fiance recently picked up a Lenovoo Ideapad 700 with an Nvidia GTX 950m. I understand this chip is equipped with nvidia optimus technology, by from what I've read you should still be able to open the nvidia control panel. It refuses to open stating we are not using an nvidia chipset. The device manager shows both cards as display adapters. In case it matters it is running windows 10.

"by from what I've read"

What did you read and where did you read it? I'd go by performance first and foremost. If you run some kind of game or benchmark that needs to use the Nvidia GPU, does it? What happens if you run 3dmark or something like that?

If the laptop automatically switches between integrated graphics, for non gaming use, and the Nvidia then maybe that's why you can't do anything with the control panel- it's not active.
