    i have dell inspiron n5110.

    core i5, 2410
    4gb ram, 640 hard and nvidia gt525m

    the problem is that when i get an index score in windows 7 it does not give rating according to the nvidia gt525m but instead it gives the rating for built in intel graphics card only.

    Any solution for that?

    It's because Optimus technology , Intel HD Graphics 3000 is the IGP.
    Don't care.

    Hi,
    Use HDMI to another screen and set the HDMI screen as the primary screen, then run WEI again.
    When you use HDMI your using the Nvidia card.

    I get 6.6 score for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics in WEI
    (I have the same i5 version as you)

    Cheers
