Hello everybody, I hope you all are doing great.

I am trying to test my gpu with userbenchmark but it tests the integrated graphics, not the gtx 960m.

I am using a lenovo y50.

I tried going to the nvidia settings and set manage global settings in 3d settings to high performance nvidia and still doe snot work.

I am not sure where to switch so userbenchmark can do the test with the gtx960m.

Also, if I install a game how do i make the game run on the gtx 960m

If someone know what can i do, thank you

You have to add the program to the Optimus list so it enables the GPU switch.

Other:
If thinking of upgrading to Windows 10 then investigate if that will work properly. It's not an issue without Optimus but I can't find any information so make sure you know how to do that before upgrading.

Probably no info until August since I don't think W10 Preview supports Optimus. We should see support for the RTM version. Not sure if NVidia Optimus is part of drivers or a separate download. Perhaps your laptop support site gives a clue to that.

Hi, thank you but it did not work this way.

Are there other ways to test the graphics card?

Also, when the time comes to install a game, what do i have to do then so the game runs in that video card?
