I just purchased an Asus ROG GL551JW laptop.
It has an Nvidia control panel which appears to be completely useless. It does not save any settings I give it, it keeps reseting the preferred graphics card to the integrated card.
I try to specify the preferred graphics card to the Nvidia card for a specific program, click "Apply" at the bottom, and then when I go back into settings, it shows the Intergrated card as the preferred card instead of Nvidia.
If I start a game with ENB, ENB reports that I am using the Intel HD 4600 instead of the Nvidia card.
I have called Asus support four times over this issue, and they tell me I cannot make this change, the computer will switch cards when it needs to.
Really?
I called a fifth time, and asked how can I change the settings for the Nvidia card for when the computer does start to use this card?
I was advised to download a program off their support site called GPU Tweak. I did that, installed it, rebooted the computer, and then when I started GPU Tweak, I found no options to change the settings for the Nvidia card. Just a completely blank dialog box under "Tuning". In Settings -> Tune ->Display Priority it is completely blank.
Is this intended design for this system?
Why can't I specify when to use the Nvidia card?
If this is the intended design, why can't I change the settings for the Nvidia card on a per program basis?
I left this same post on the Asus ROG forums site. I just want to know if I should get this repaired? Is there anything I can do to configure the Nvidia card when it is used? Should I just send the laptop back because of poor design?
