Windows 7 - dxdiag showing the wrong graphics card

Hi all!

happy new year!

I bought this computer and it has Nvidia GeForce GT540m graphics card (i thinks its optimus)

but on dxdiag>display it says intel HD graphics family.. wtf?

I don't know what is with it but do I not have Nvidia?



PS: on some games such a skyrim and oblivion it detected my computer and said i have Nvidia gefore gt540m but I wonder why it doesn't show up on dxdiag as 540 but as intel HD o.o


any help will be really appreciated !

thanks

hmm, Hi again. could you fill up your complete system specs from user cp?. not sure this will work. but you could try: remove the graphics driver, then reinstall it. steps: remove graphics driver -> reboot computer -> install latest version of graphics driver -> reboot computer again.
and check

i have no idea how to remove the graphics driver lol

start button>control panel>programs>programs & features>uninstall a program.
see if its listed there.

Yes it is there but I don't rly wanna do it lol :P

anyways I found something that might prove to be useful

I found it in the nvidia control panel:

lol okay xD. i would still suggest you to try it. though its a minor problem.
you could also download those two prgrams i posted about in the other thread and see if they show the correct grphc cards.

kk! but what is the cleaning thing for? o.o

you don't have to necessarily use it for cleaning
but it gives you options to check your system specs

...
lol what now ...

this is ..
maybe other members could help
