  2. External displays using only Integrated graphics card when connected using Dell Display dock

    Hi Kevin,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the PC is not using NVidia GPU when connected through the docking station.



    Since display link uses USB graphics technology to connect multiple monitors using the USB port available on the PC that is the reason it uses the integrated graphics card to extend the displays.

    One of the work around you can try to fix the issue is to disable the integrated graphics card on the PC, so that the only graphics being detected is the dedicated one.



    You can follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



    Method 1:



    Disable the integrated graphics card drivers.



    Note:
    Create a system restore point on the PC before disabling the graphics driver. Refer the article to

    Create a system restore point
    .




    1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
      Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
    2. In Run dialog box, type
      devmgmt.msc
      and hit enter.
    3. Go to Display adapters and expand it.
    4. Now right click on the
      Intel Graphics drivers and click on
      Disable.
    5. Click on OK.


    Method 2:



    Change the direct 3D settings from NVidia control panel.



    1. Right click on any blank space on desktop and click on
      NVidia Control Panel.
    2. Now on the left hand pane expand
      3D settings.
    3. Click on Manage 3D settings.
    4. Under Preferred graphics processor, select
      High-performance NVidia processor.
    5. Click on Apply.


    In addition, you can try updating the drivers for Display Link from the

    manufacturer’s website
    .



    Hope it helps.

    External displays using only Integrated graphics card when connected using Dell Display dock

    Hello!

    I am running a Razer Blade with a GTX 1060 6Gb GPU. I just got a new Dell Universal Dock D6000 that uses software called DisplayLink for my two external monitors. After setting the monitors up I wanted to run Diablo 3 and see how it looked with the new setup.
    The game was laggy and fuzzy. It appears that when using the DisplayLink the Nvidia GPU is disabled and the computer only uses the Intel Integrated GPU. Is there a workaround for this. I have read other places that it had something to do with an anniversary
    update, but the update they referenced was from two years ago. I assume this would have been fixed by now.

    If you know anything, I am more than willing to try. Would be a shame if I had to disconnect my laptop from my dock and play on the small screen every time I wanted to do a little gaming.

    Kevin

    graphics card problems

    Hi,

    Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

    • Turn your computer off.
    • Pull out your video/graphics card.
    • Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
    • Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.
    Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

    Let us know how it goes.
