    Hey Guys,
    I have a question regarding the graphics card
    When i bought this, I believed that the NVIDIA graphic card that comes with my laptop will be utilized when i play games. However, it appears that it is not being used since games like even FIFA cannot be played with top specs.
    when i looked up on the internet, ppl sugested this particular application which lets me know if i am using NVIDIA or not. It appears that it is not being used. Infact, Only Intel HD graphics is being used.
    the main reason why i bought this laptop is due to the graphics card. am i suppose to enable something so that NVIDIA graphics card is being used when i play other games as well?

    My specs:
    Acer Aspire V3-571G
    i5-3210M 2.5GHz
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (1GB VRAM)
    4GB RAM

    Thanks

    Suhas

    Hi,
    you can assign a specific application to use Nvidia card.
    go to Nvidia Control Panel ==> Manage 3D setting ==> Program setting ==> choose program from the list + high performance Nvidia processor
    Voila ...
    regards,
