    Hi I have a m17xr4 with an i7 3630QM and in the BIOS its says that the Integrated Graphics not detected. Is the integrated card not on all systems, was this an option to get?

    Thanks

    Possibly because you have the 120hz 3d model? or you might have toggled the I/D GFX toggle which hides the integrated GPU.

    I do have the 120hz 3d model, so the integrated card is not available?

    yes you are correct. Unfortunately Integrated graphics only works on systems with 60hz screens. :(

    Intel GPU doesn't work on 3D screens to my knowledge, and as bigtonyman states, also does not support 120 Hz. I think also on older Dells with IPS, the iGPU doesn't work.

    Nvidia does not support 3d through the Intel igp so they disable it.
