I need HELP Badly (GPU Issue)

DonutBoi

Hello,

So, I've been using this laptop for about 1 year now (Acer Nitro 5 GTX 1050). And just recently I found out it's been using only my integrated GPU and I've been struggling to play games, I have 2 monitors and I have checked my display settings which state, Display 1: Connected to Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 AND Display 2: Connected to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. I really need help on how to be able to use my GTX Card on my computer instead of my monitor as I cant use my VR or any of my games, If this seems confusing I could try to give a better explanation on my discord.

PLEASE try to help I really don't want to lose this pc.

Thanks So Much,
DonutBoi

Make sure you do this below and always game on 100% battery BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged in while gaming, in your Windows Power plan select High Performance when on AC and in Nitrosense make sure High performance is selected under "AC" tab

Please click YES if I answer your question, thankyou

1. Download and install the latest Nvidia drivers from here and do not install GEforce experience, instead check the link every month for updated drivers
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx. Geforce Experience causes problems for some people

2. Go to the Nvidia control center and click Manage 3d settings tab, then click the Global Settings tab and change Preferred Graphics processor from Auto select to your Nvidia GPU, do this by clicking the downward arrow to the right of Auto Select and select the Nvidia GPU. Then under the Program Settings tab select the programs and games that you want to run on the Nvidia GPU. Do the same under the Set PhysX Configuration tab
