The GPU will get used on demand UNLESS you did something like wipe the supplied OS install.
So for most desktop use the Intel is quite up to the task and it saves power and if on battery power, gives you a lot more hours.
DO NOT FIX THIS. When you run a game, then the GPU kicks in.
Earlier this year I purchased an ASUS FX73VE-WH71 from Best Buy. It came with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. I have used the task manager and so far the NVIDIA has not been used. It's using the integrated Intel graphics instead. How can I turn off the integrated graphics so the laptop starts using the NVIDIA instead??
So far I have tried disabling the integrated graphics but the next time I boot up it's been reenabled.
What's the point of having a separate graphics card if it's not going to be used??
