    I just got my Asus N53SV-EH72, but when I run my WEI, it is using the Intel graphics card, i would like to run it using the nvidia 540m, i saw i can select the global graphics card to nvidia, which i did but still runs the intel..

    Any ideas?

    The way I understand it, "Graphics" is for the Intel card and "Gaming graphics" is for the Nvidia card. No need to change anything.

    How do you know it's using Intel graphics, instead the NVIDIA one?
