Games running with Integrated Graphics Card instead of Dedicated one


I got a Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70 Laptop, with all the drivers up-to-date (including beta drivers).

The laptop features an Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 video card and a NVidia GeForce 840M.

The trick is that everytime I'm playing a game that is a bit older (not recognized by NVidia GeForce Experience, it runs with the Integrated Graphics card). And yes, I've tried to set to run globally with the dedicated card.

 

Gaming laptop is largely ignoring my dedicated graphics card, and instead mostly just using the integrated graphics card.

Hello! So this is a somewhat recent, and very frustrating, occurrence. My laptop is a MSI Pulse GL66 with Intel(R) UHD Graphics as the integrated graphics card, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 as the dedicated graphics card. For some reason, I've noticed my performance on games that require good graphics (like, Hogwarts Legacy for example) has been seriously impaired. Task Manager says that these games are running mainly with the integrated card for some reason, like 95-100% integrated, 0-5% dedicated. Obviously, the performance suffers significantly when this happens - I'd like to be able to use my gaming laptop for gaming again!

What I Have Tried and More Information

• Computer is fully updated to Windows 10
  
• All drivers have been disabled/enabled, uninstalled/reinstalled, updated to latest versions. For Nvidia I made sure to do clean installs.
  
• If I disable the integrated graphics card, the game often just does not even use the dedicated graphics card instead and then loads and is unplayable, or just crashes.
  
• I have tried using the Nvidia control panel "Manage 3D settings" feature, both global and program settings, this has done nothing.
  
• I have tried using the Microsoft graphics settings, "Graphics performance preference", and then set the preferred dedicated graphics card to each of my games. This has done nothing.
  
• I even went into Bios but could not find much regarding the graphics cards.
  
• I have tried turning up the graphics in-game to "high" or "ultra" to try to force the computer to switch to the dedicated card - this has just decreased my performance even more.
  
• I have tried adjusting power/battery settings to maximize performance over battery life - still does not seem to make a difference.
  
• For some reason, programs like discord use the dedicated graphics card?
  

Should I just take my computer into a shop? I seriously am running out of ideas.

Thank you in advance for your time.

 

I have a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card as well as an integrated Intel HD graphics card

I have a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card as well as an integrated Intel HD graphics card. I know that by default NVIDIA is disabled, so I switched the setting on most of my programs to use NVIDIA however whenever I change it for Chrome it still uses Intel. I tried changing the GPU back and forth couple time, but nothing worked.
I am using MSI GP62 7RD Leopard Laptop with Intel i7. My integrated GPU is Intel HD Graphics 630 and I also have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050.
