| | Windows is not using my NVIDIA GEFORCE Hi all, I have Geforce GT 525M running on Dell Inspiron N5110 .  I didn't know that my windows is not using the VGA until i installed a game and it told me that my Video card does not meet the minium requirement . I don't know how to make windows use my VGA instead of the onboard card.  I tried to "detect" and set the VGA to my main display but if i do so, i gonna see nothing on the screen except the background even i choosed "Show desktop only in 2" already .  Please help me, thanks very much ! |

| | You should be able to disable the onboard VGA in BIOS. Othewise, have you tried disabling the Intel Graphics Adapter in the Device Manager? |

I tried to disable the onboard VGA in bios but i could not find where is that ! ( my bios menu is quiet simple ) . If I disable the Intel adapter in the Device Manager my screen will shut down immediately ( means it's still running just not displaying anymore ) and i have to shut my laptop down by keep pressing the power button. |

| | It says here Inspiron N5110 15R not displaying nVidia GT525M graphics card in the system specifications. - Laptop General Hardware Forum - Laptop - Dell Community to enable it in the Optimus control panel on an application by application basis. I'll do a bit of digging and be back. |

| | Yeah, those Dells tend to have a limited BIOS, I forgot about that. The next choice would have been Solar's advice, but i doubt the Dell BIOS even has graphic priority options, either. Looks like Dwarf is on the right track. |
