Note: Before proceeding with the installation, verify the driver you downloaded supports your graphics card. Geforce Desktop PC graphics cards, Geforce notebook PC graphics cards, and Quadro Professional graphics cards each use a different driver. Verify the driver you download supports your product by viewing the 'Supported Products' tab in the driver download section of the driver you select as shown in the example screenshot below:
How do I install the NVIDIA Display Driver under Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10?
I'm trying to get Intel and Nvidia graphics card working together with two monitors. One monitor should use the Intel card and the other the Nvidia card. Of course, I want to use only one keyboard and one mouse to switch between both screens.
Once you have verified your graphics card is compatible with the driver you have downloaded, please close all open programs. If you have an anti-virus program or other system monitoring utility running in the background, please disable these temporarily as they may interfere with the installation of your display driver.
If you are logged in as a Guest or Standard User, Windows will not permit you to install the driver.
Selecting Run will save the file to a temporary directory. If a file is saved to a temporary directory, it is possible Windows may delete the file while you are installing the driver which will result in a bad install. Instead, save the driver to your Windows desktop.
After the driver has downloaded to your Windows desktop, you will see a new icon on your desktop similar to the screenshot below:
If you are installing a new graphics card in your PC, the Windows hardware installation wizard may be installing drivers separately. If you see the following on the botton right-hand corner of your taskbar, you will need to wait until Windows has finished before proceeding with the installation.
Once you have launched the NVIDIA display driver installation file, your first prompt will ask you for a location to save the NVIDIA driver files to. These files are not used by the NVIDIA installer and only important if you intend to install the driver manually.
5) You will next be prompted to accept the NVIDIA software license agreement. Read the contents and then if you agree, click 'AGREE AND CONTINUE' to proceed.
6) If you agreed to the license agreement, you will be presented with the installer options as shown below.
Most users will want to select Express (Recommended). For advanced users you may select Custom (Advanced) to view additional installer options. If you selected Express (Recommended), click 'NEXT'. The installer will begin copying the driver files and once it has completed, you will be asked to restart your computer to complete the installation. Proceed to restart your computer. Once you are back in Windows, your are finished,
If you selected Custom (Advanced), continue to the section labeled Custom (Advanced) below:
Custom (Advanced)
1) If you selected, Custom (Advanced), click 'NEXT' to continue.
2) The Custom install options screen will allow you to select which components of the NVIDIA Graphics Driver you wish to install. To get the most features out of your graphics card, we suggest selecting all of the graphic components. Older graphics cards may not show all of the components listed below. If the options you are presented with do not match the screenshot below, it is ok. The only mandatory component you must install is the Graphics Driver. If you have experienced install problems in the past, we offer 'Perform clean install' which will remove all previous NVIDIA drivers and NVIDIA registry entries from your computer. This may resolve installer issues caused by conflicting older drivers. One you have selected which graphic components you wish to install, click 'NEXT' to continue.
3) The installer will copy all selected graphic components to your computer. After the installer has completed, you will see a window similar to the screenshot below. Click 'RESTART NOW' to restart your computer. Once you are back in Windows, your installation has completed.
As Greg mentioned, laptops all have a software (Nvidia = Optimus) that allows the integrated graphics to run as default when there
is no 3D application running. This is necessary to preserve battery charge/life.
Desktop PC's don't have a software, but you can run both integrated and dedicated graphics cards independently, or together.
However, this does not save much power as the dedicated gpu clocks drop way down when in 2D mode, and only ramps up the clock speeds when loading a 3D program/game . The small amount of power saved by using the Intel HD vs Nvidia is not very significant
This type of hack has long been used to “officially” activate Microsoft products, including Office and previous versions of Windows. Hack bundle activation key. As usual, we won’t provide links to any such products but we bet your Google search skills will lead you right to the source, which is MDL by the way. With Windows 8.1 being only a few days old we dare to say that we’ll probably start seeing a lot more “activated” copies of the OS being installed thanks to this hack. Neowin community member tipped us that the a dodgy KMS tool can now activate Windows 8.1 by using a traditional Key Management Service workaround, and it works for all editions of Windows 8.1 too. Pirated versions of can now be activated via a KMS workaround.
when battery charge is not a concern.
btw - The Intel HD graphics is part of your cpu. The motherboard just makes the connection.
- I gather you have found the Intel HD graphics settings in your motherboard BIOS, but if not..
Your ASUS mobo may be setup different, or use different terms, but looking in my user manual I am reminded this option is in the
System Agent Configuration > Graphics Configuration.
Nvidia Intel Driver Conflict
Here you will find several Intel HD related settings. Among them is - Cpu graphics multi-monitor.
Dell Drivers
This is disabled by default on my mobo, so if you have not done so, you may want to enable this option.
[ EDIT: Labelflash dvd driver. I did a little experiment.. It used to be that you had to disable/enable one or the other in Device Manager, when connecting
both Integrated and dedicated grapics to the same monitor, but it looks like the Cpu graphics multi-monitor option in my BIOS makes
it possible to switch between them on a single monitor simply by selecting Display 1 or 2 in the Display Settings.
(I still connect my dedicated gpu to the main monitor and the Intel HD graphics to my second monitor, and I hadn't tried
a single monitor configuration for a few years.) ]
- Yes, the Intel HD options do 'disappear' when monitor 2 is not active, but Nvidia Control Panel remains on the Desktop Context Menu
regardless of if it is in use.
And yes the IntelHD graphics will remain idle when not in use. Still can come in very handy if you have problems with your
Nvidia card, or use a second monitor though.
