ACER Nitro AN515-44-R0XR not running the Nvidia graphics card

New Acer AN515-44-R0XR AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Nvidia GTX 1650. Ran Userbenchmark and realized it was not running the Nvidia card. Checked device manager, GPU is enabled, drivers current and shows working properly. Checked advanced display settings and it shows display 1 the laptop screen is "Connected to AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics" which I assume is the integrated GPU. How do I correct this, disable onboard graphics is the BIOS, disable the Radeon(TM) in device manager? Really concerned about ending up with no display. Checked Nvidia app and it shows screen 1 connected to the Radeon instead of the Nvidia. Advice?

Solution was to go into Nvidia control panel and set Manage 3D settings to high performance (Nvidia processor) to high performance on the Global tab.

Connect an external monitor (this will use HDMI and in turn force use external graphics card instead of internal). Disabling internal graphics card is not recommended since the build in screen on laptop makes use of GPUs as needed. Most windows elements run on integrated GPU.

Open the radeon software and pick the benchmarking software exe and associate it to run with dedicated graphics card and see if that helps.

So I finally found the graphics settings and selected high performance for Userbenchmark using Nvidia Geforce GPU restarted the laptop and tried again. Still defaulted to the Radeon integrated GPU.

I wouldn't suggest this - maybe use this to benchmark and then reset it back to what it was. Setting NVidia for all 3D will kill battery much faster (when on battery).
