    Hi guys,


    I received my XPS 15 notebook a couple of days ago and am really happy with it. I carried out a color calibration of my screen with Spyder 3 Pro. However I noticed that this calibrated profile is only associated with the Intel Card. When I switch to graphics intense programs, the NVidia card kicks in and I lose the calibration.

    How do I associate this profile I created with the NVidia card too? I couldn't find a way to associate the profile with this card. Can someone please explain it to me?


    Thanks a ton,

    Hi there. That post does not explain how I can associate a calibrated profile with the nVidia card. Currently the intel HD card is the default graphics card. I have calibrated my display, but it seems that the new profile is only associated with the Intel Card. Hence when I run a program that uses the nVidia card, the color profile changes (to whatever came pre-installed with the machine) and does not keep my calibrated profile. I want to able to associate the calibrated profile that I created with BOTH, the Intel and the nVidia cards.


    Thanks,
