I want to use intel integrated graphics when connecting the laptop the TV. I do not want to use the nvidia drivers when outputting to the tv as im just watching movies. Is there a way i can do this as i want the laptop quiet as possible when watching TV. I've tried disabling the NVIDIA driver in device manager but then it will totally not detect a second display.

Model Name: Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-51
Intel i7 8950 8th gen
nvidia 1060
16gb ram

  • This is not possible as this model does not allow dgpu to be disabled in bios. Have you ever tried to put the notebook in balanced mode when you connect the tv or an external monitor?

    HDMI connection is handled by NVidia GPU only. So it is not possible to use Intel's GPU while connected to some form of display.
