    Force Nvidia instead of Onboard Intel GPU


    Hi Helmut.

    Thanks for the reply. Late last night, and early into the morning (US EST), I was researching how to force my Chrome browser to use my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 for video-intensive apps like YouTube 4K/8K and Netflix. I happened upon two "solution" pages, referenced earlier, and this page. Somehow, in my sleep-deprived mind, I inferred that this thread was also inquiring about forcing a standard user app to use a high performance NVIDIA graphics card.

    For sure, the first step to get Chrome or any other 3D-agnostic app to use the graphics card is to bring up the NVIDIA Control Panel and force it to use the discrete video card (Chrome explicitly defaults to "Onboard" for some reason, as do most browsers). Then, following the Chrome-specific steps above, I confirmed my GTX 1070 being used to process video in a browser window.

    Executive Summary: I provided a (hopefully) right/helpful answer to the wrong question. *Redface

    my board has optimus and i just unplugged the monitor from the onboard and it bypasses the intel gpu, but not sure how this works if yours is a laptop , i don't think on laptops you have the choice to use one or the other. I know on desktops that use nvidia optimus you just like i said have to unplug the monitor from the hdmi port and plug into graphics card and it's all set.Mine is a msi z77a-g45 mainboard.
