Hi all, I recently bought a computer for gaming. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all of this as I recently switched from console. I have integrated graphics (Intel HD graphics 630) and a dedicated gpu (GeForce 1050ti) it seems when ever I start a game up (Rainbow Six Siege) it always uses the Intel graphics not the Nvidia. I have tried to disable the Intel one to force the Nvidia card to work but it seems it doesn't kick in at all. Before disabling I would get 15fps and now after disabling I get 3fps. Therefore I know the Nvidia card is not working at all. Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. I have been looking at it non stop the past two days and I cannot get it to work.... thanks!!

Make sure on the back of the computer your HDMI cable is plugged into the graphics card and not the motherboard. Your graphics card HDMI slot will be at the bottom of your PC most likely.
