Hi Folks, Dell XPS 15 9560 i7 7700HQ 16gb ram 512 gb SSD 4K UHD T/S. How do the graphics cards, in my case Intel XP 630 and GeForce GTX 1050 , operate together? I cannot get this Laptop screen to acknowledge even the existence of the 1050. I’ve done all the obvious and not so obvious stuff.It’s 4K UHD touchscreen (turned off) screen image is nothing to shout home about also films & video aren’t that bright. What priority do these graphics cards have between them? I’m not new to all this but I can’t find any combination of settings to satisfy me that the GTX 1050 is actually set up to do its job. This Laptop is straight out of the box. Apart from calling Dell do any of you good people out there have any ideas.? Regards

Try this...

First you need to get it to detect and use the right card.

A. Uninstall, and then reinstall, the latest graphics card driver.
B. Make sure that your Nvidia graphics card is set as the default graphics card.

Here's the steps on how to set it to default.

1. Open the "Nvidia Control Panel".
2. Select "Manage 3D Settings" under 3D Settings.
3. Click on the "Program Settings" tab and select the program you want to choose a graphics card for from the drop down list.
4. Now select "preferred graphics processor" in the drop down list. (You can see what the automatic option is listed as global setting) If you want to use the dedicated graphics card, select High-performance Nvidia processor.

Once it is running on the right one...
