Can a laptop with two graphics cards swap to use for display?

bloodhorde

I have an Asus laptop and when I bought it it had Intel graphics HD 3000 and a NVIDIA Geforce GT 540m. Naturally I would want it to be on the Geforce card but when I right click my desktop and go to screen resolution and advanced settings it shows that my monitor and my laptop screen both are running off the Intel graphics HD card.

Answer
This shows how to add your games to the list in Nvidia Control Panel
Open Nvidia Control Panel by typing it in start/search then click on it.
Click on 'Manage 3D Settings'

When you are not gaming it will use the Intel graphics to save power.
Add your games "exe" to the list and the Nvidia Graphics driver will load automatically when you start the game.

So to you think i will be able to change it and would it just be better to upgrade ram rather than graphics card?... also if I am not able to change anything do you know anyways to make it handle higher graphic games???
Thanks!

Answer
sorry. You cant change or replace your graphics card because ur graphics adapter dac type is not external. Its internal. So you cant change or upgrade ur graphics. nd there is no way to speed up your gaming performance a bit higher. Dont worry, u have a hd graphics then why r u askin for a upgrade. U should be happy with ur lappie.
if u like my post then make my post as best answer. Ok bye.
