    You need spaces between the numbers. Like this...."-4 -5 -6", not this...."-4-5-6"

    I dont know what you mean by "SG". You can disable the IGP in windows 7, but I would leave it enabled. Use the nvidia panel to make sure your games use the 580, and all will be good

    SG means switchable graphics. If I have Intel graphics disabled in the bios should I have my primary display PEG?( PCI-E Graphics)

    I set it to PEG and when I rebooted the resolution was very low and it was trying to install a VGA driver so I shut down and set it back to SG. Was I supposed to change something else to get PEG to work? Also should I have Pysx disabled/

    No, just Primary set to PEG and Internal Display set to Disabled.
