Display Problem Nitro 5 laptop with RTX 2060

Hello,

I own a Nitro 5 laptop with RTX 2060. My main display graphic card on the laptop screen is the Intel integrated graphic card, once I plug a monitor on HDMI and put it as the main monitor my fps are better with almost 2x times.
I don't think that is okay, I mean do I really have to plug in another monitor to get the real frames of this laptop..
How can I change the laptop main graphic card into RTX 2060?
My NVIDIA control panel is all set up, on the RTX, my graphic settings are on high performance, everything is good on paper for the RTX to work but, unfortunately it isn't. I tried to disable the intel graphic card and the laptop is putting a microsoft thing with 1hz, not the only working graphic card in the laptop, the RTX.

Thank you,
Tiudor

A laptops display will never ever be as goad as an external display of a higher spec. The RTX 2060 graphics is a pretty high end graphics gpu and has much better potential to drive high spec monitors than anything that its OEM display can handle. Be happy that you can take advantage of an external monitor and use what your OEM Nitro 5 monitor can display as 'you cant get bold out of a stone' as the saying goes

The default system display is intel integrated. When you connect to a monitor via hdmi it uses the gpu- infact its wired off the gpu. just how it is.

How can I change the laptop main graphic card into RTX 2060? you said ( i dont know how to quote lol)

Open nvida control panel> manage 3d settigns>Global settings>preferred graphics processor> select nvidia high performance processor. this is how to use the gpu on the system display. To check, open nitro sense, should see the gpu utilisation working.

When you need performance, its when gaming. So what you can do and what i do is manually select the gpu to work for select programs- most likey its already setup like this but for some games it wont.

Open nvidia control panel>manage 3d settings>go program settings> add your games .exe > select nvida high performance processor>Done.

if you have an external monitor with higher refresh rate you can use that too and your gpu will power it well being a RTX.

As I've said "My NVIDIA control panel is all set up, on the RTX, my graphic settings are on high performance", nothing has changed, only when I insert an HDMI and a monitor on.

I do agree with you in some way but, I cannot connect a monitor every time, If I wanted to have a special monitor I would have bought a PC not a laptop :~)
