Is It possible to link laptop display to dedicated gpu instead in Aspire 5?

In my Acer Aspire 5, the laptop display is default linked to the intel(R) UHD graphics. Is it possible to link the laptop display with nvidia gpu or is there a physical connection involved that wont allow this change?

There is no physical connection that allows you to directly link the laptop display to the NVIDIA GPU. The NVIDIA GPU is used for rendering graphics, which are then output to the display through the Intel integrated graphics. Only some high end laptops that has MUX switch can do change link.

So in summary, while you can configure the NVIDIA GPU to be used for specific applications, the laptop display itself is physically connected to the Intel UHD graphics and cannot be directly linked to the NVIDIA GPU.
