I bought a laptop, which has 2 vga’s: some integrated intel shit and a normal vga (GF 310M). The problem is windows always load the integrated one. I’ve tried to play with BIOS’s, disabling one of them in device mananger. After doing this, it load with idk what, but control panel says that there is no vga… Help?

Do you happen to have an i5 or i7 CPU?
Because these have integrated GPU to save up batterylife when
you’re not dealing with any visual intensive stuff.
When you do, f.e. ingame, i thought it automaticly switches to the real GPU no?

idk :x

disable onboard

open windows update

install nvidia driver

or open nvidias site and install driver

isnt 310 like proper shit tho? ah, its mobile… then ye, i have no clue how the new chipsets work :D but in general they should work without interference, when u launch tf2 it should start working… but the card is rly bad, wouldnt be surprised if nothing good comes out of it

make sure u run tf2 on 800×600 or close to that

For a start, telling us which laptop you have would help. :)

The switching between the too is done by software, not hardware, so it’ll be a utility/driver program specifically for your laptop.

The laptop is MSI CX623. I doubt that the normal vga kicks in when a game is launched for example, becouse when I try to run Street Fighter 4 it barely runs on medium settings. I know that it’s a mobile vga and etc, but it should really run on high/medium settings according to benchmarks.

Fixed it by reinstaling drivers once more. Thanks for your help, guys! :)
