  1. Changing display adapter for monitor


    My question

    In the device manager, as well as in the Advanced Screen Settings, Windows tell me that my external monitor is connected to/run by the least powerful of the two graphics cards in my laptop namely the Intel UHD Graphics 620, my integrated GPU, but I wan't to switch it over to the other: a Nvidia Geforce MX150.

    I've found a lot of guides online for declaring that certain programs should be 'rendered' by the Nvidia GPU using the Nvidia Control Panel, but I can't seem to find outhow to change which graphics card runs the monitor itself. To my understanding, if I change which GPU runs a specific program, that GPU will be in charge of calculating what should be on-screen in the window, but it will still have to pass that information through the GPU that actually renders the screen.


    Below are some screenshots:


    Device Manager --> Displays --> Right click AOC U2790B my external monitor --> Properties. Where it says "Placering" Danish for Location, I want it to say Nvidia Geforce MX150

    Background/what I really want to accomplish

    I recently bought a new AOC U2790PQU-monitor, which is a 4k, 60Hz, 10-bit display according to the spec sheet.

    Windows, however, is telling me that it is only 8 bit, and I can't raise the framerate to 60Hz without lowering the resolution.


    After doing some research, I think it might be because Intel UHD Graphics 620 the integrated graphics card on my laptop is creating a bottleneck/isn't fast enough to run the display to the max.

    What I really want to accomplish, though, is just to get 4k 60Hz 10-bit, so if you have another idea for what might be the problem, I'd love to test it out.

    :)
