[SOLVED] GTX GraphicCard + OnBoard-GraphicCard & two monitors
polycounter lvl 6
Hey folks!
This problem seems somehow embarrassing,
but i never faced this situation once.
As mentioned i have 2 Monitors and 2 graphic-cards
- SyncMaster --> Intel HD 630 (on-board)
- Phillips 220VW -- > GTX 1060
yesterday i started marvelous designer and it prompted that the pc was using the on-board card which leads to "less performance etc"
i was baffled, i thoht it was some how a missconfiguration under
"Nvidia control panel" so i reseted the settings, but it did not worked out.
I started Substance Painter and it also prompted out that i was using the onboard card ....
The GTX driver is also up to date.
I dont know how to force the computer to use the gtx as my "main graphic card"
PS:
i use both cards because the "Phillips 220VW" has an old interface compatible with the slot of the onboard card.
Is it better to disable the on-bord card anyway? Or are there some benefits to have 2 cards active at the same time?!
-------------------------
EDIT:
ok i found out how to bypassbut not solve the problem...
When using 2 cards and 2 monitors in the screen settings:
notice that display "1" has checked the "set as main display"-option!
go to "advanced display(?) [Erweiterte Anzeigeeinstellung]" then you see this:
The coputer registers the graphiccard as the main-graphiccard depending on which display is your main-display,
so this means, when i set display 2 as maindisplay my main-graficcard would be the intel and not the nvidia again....
...i know right? what the hell windows?
