    I have this laptop and when i want to play video games, it should start with nvidia graphic card, instead it start with intel graphic card. I have been in dell authorized service, they said to me that i need to adjust settings in nvidia control panel. I tried to find what to adjust, but i didnt... Any solution?

    Right click the desktop, there should be NVIDIA Control Panel.

    Once you open that, under "3D settings" you should see "Manage 3D Settings". Go there, then look at the tab that says "Global Settings".

    Set the preferred gfx processor to High Performance NVIDIA Processor

    or, if you prefer to set manual settings for different programs, use the "Program Settings" tab.

    You can also turn on Desktop > "Run with gfx processor in context menu" -- that way you can just right click the program shortcut and choose if you want to run it with the gfx card.

    Make sure you have the latest drivers also. Look for "Manage updates".
