Hello, I bought a new laptop with an Intel Core i5 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 920m graphics card. The problem is that when I play video games like Minecraft, I see that the game is not supported by the graphics card but by the processor. Do you know if I need to enable a special setting or do some manipulation? Thanks in advance. ;)

    Hi.

    Have you thought about looking in the control panel?
    You should have "NVIDIA Control Panel."

    Click on it.

    Then go to Manage 3D settings.
    - Global settings: choose NVIDIA (and not auto-select).

    If the game still doesn't launch with the correct graphics card, go to Program settings.
    - Then you need to select the relevant program (the game) and the relevant graphics card...

    Something I never thought to do (so I don’t know if it will work): disable the other graphics card... WHICH I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

    Unless you are quite an expert in the field.

    EDIT:
    I just disabled the integrated graphics card, so only my NVIDIA is active.

    Knowing that I have a game that I have never been able to run on my NVIDIA graphics card, I disabled the other graphics card.

    The game doesn’t launch... Of course, it dates back to before the NVIDIA GPU's release. ^^

    So I’m going to leave this GPU active :P

    ++ ^^
