3D Settings for Preferred Graphics Processor?

You guys have been really helpfull with my questions. Do I have to manually change my graphic settings from Integrated graphics to the High Performance Nivida Processor setting. Since I'm an alienware newbie what other default settings do I need to change to get the most out of my system for gamming. I could of been running my my PC on the wrong graphics card this whole time and would not even know it. Its a little frustrating...

Thanks!

 

Not that you have to, as some newer game will be natively compatible and will auto choose whichever GPU to play, but just to make sure it will run on the NV GPU, just manually do it, since it doesnt hurt the system if you do so, lol.

 

Thanks for the reply and I manually made the change. So far I'm really impressed with the laptop. I played Diablo 3 last night for around 4 hours at max settings and my FPS was around 90-100. My only complaint is Dell's tech support and giant corporate feel. I hate that I can't even call in without being transfered a thousand times and not being able talk to someone who speaks normal English. I just wanted to call in and talk to a tech guy who knows about gaming laptops and can help me with the initial set up of my settings and little tweaks here and there to get the optimal performance out of my PC.
