Laptop with Intel HD Graphics + Nvidia card - when are the two used?
Hi, my laptop has both
Intel HD Graphics 530
and a
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 940M card
I've realised that the latter's tray icon always seems to report 'inactive' if I hover over the icon.
How do I know if it's ever used, and in what circumstances should I expect it to be used?
My limited understanding suggests the Nvidia icon turns green when in use, and the integrated Intel graphics is the default for basic graphics, and whether the Nvidia card is used or not is automatic, the Nvidia card being powered down if not needed. Is it as simple as that?
Maybe I need to play a game e.g. to actually use the Nvidia card?
Thanks!
