If you want to use the integrated graphics card, select Integrated Graphics. Select the preferred graphics processor in the drop-down list.Select the program you want to choose a graphics card for from the drop-down list.
Under 3D Settings select Manage 3D Settings.Under the Graphics performance preference section the graphics processor can be assigned to specific applications.Applications not listed in the Windows Graphics Settings list, are able to be managed in the NVIDIA Control Panel.Settings currently defined in the NVIDIA Control Panel as defined below will be overridden.
In the latest Windows builds, the OS manages the Graphics Processor that will be used by applications as set in the Windows Graphics Settings. If you have an Intel NUC11PH system, and the NVIDIA* control panel isn't present, download and install the latest NVIDIA* drivers. Things seem significantly different nowadays, at least based on the settings-panes I've been exploring. There are previous questions on this topic, but they're all ancient - windows 8, or whatever. This will set the NVIDIA card to be used by default with all programs. One last confusing confound, though, is that in the Task Manager, the usage-graph for the GeForce RTX 3080 is way more active than the usage-graph for the Intel Iris so maybe the NVIDIA Control Panel is lying to me? But in that case, why can't I connect three measely displays to this g/d laptop? /= On NVIDIA Control Panel, choose Manage 3D Settings and choose the graphics card that you would like to be the default for all programs - High-performance NVIDIA Processor. No matter what I do, three monitors won't turn on at the same time. No matter what I do, the "PhysX configuration" above continues to indicate that all of my displays are connected to the Intel Iris. Launched a damn 3D game in the background just incase Windows ignored my configuration in #1. Set "Preferred graphics processor" to "High-performance NVIDIA processor" in the NVIDIA Control Panel anyway, even though it says in there that it has no effect nowadays, Set a couple common apps to "High performance" in the Windows 11 settings, since NVIDIA says that's where you configure which-GPU-to-use nowadays, but if I disable the internal display, both of the external screens will allow me to enable them:Īfter some investigation, I suspect the problem is that, no matter what I do, the new laptop appears to be "stuck" on the integrated Intel Iris graphics, instead of the NVIDIA GPU:. If the internal display is enabled, only one of the two external Thunderbolt screens will function. Unfortunately, I cannot, for the life of me, get three monitors to connect and work at the same time: It's got a very beefy GPU (NVIDIA RTX 3080), that I specifically searched out so that I could use a large array of external monitors and be more productive. I've bought the closest thing I could find to a Mac, that runs Windows: the MSI Creator series, specifically a Z17. So, I'm usually a Mac (desktop) / Linux (VM / server) user, so I'm pretty lost in Windowsland.
