Hello
I have a little problem, my laptop, have 2 graphics cards a Intel HD Graphics Family and a NVIDIA GeForce 740m. On every page i look for example" Can i run it" it says I have the Intel HD Graphics Family. But I obviously wanna use the NVIDIA GeForce 740m.
What should I do to the website "Can I Run It" say I have the GeForce?

The integratedintel graphicsare what yourlaptop uses 90% of the time, to render 2d images, play videos etc. When you enter more intensive 3D applications like games, your laptop switches to thenvidiadescrete chip. It is calledNvidiaOptimusTechnology, and you can find more information herehttp://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html
