Hello,
In device management, it shows that there are 2 graphics cards installed on the PC.
When I play Trials Evolution, the game is not smooth because I think the least powerful graphics card is being used.
My 2 graphics cards:
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (the least powerful)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (probably the most powerful)
I would like to know how to use my second graphics card.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
So first of all, it's not about 2 graphics cards.
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 is the integrated graphics chipset.
Your PC is equipped with Nvidia Optimus technology, which automatically switches applications between the chipset or the graphics card to save energy and avoid using your GPU when it's not necessary (like watching a movie or something), but sometimes it doesn't make the transition by itself for certain games, but they all have a solution planned.
- You need to access the Nvidia control panel (either by typing in the start menu or by right-clicking on the desktop)
- Go to "Manage 3D settings" on the left and then to program settings (you should leave the global settings on auto-select)
There you'll have the list of programs, and if your game isn't there, you can add it and look for the main .exe file of the game. Then select "Nvidia graphics processor."
- Click apply and, like magic, your game will be smooth :) (as long as you don't push the graphics settings too hard)

For me, my game is not showing up. Neither is any program. Even when searching, it doesn't work. Could I get some help?
Good evening,
what's the point of replying to a discussion that is 10 years old.
It is more sensible to create your own by indicating your equipment.
Best regards.
