ZBook G1: Which of its GPU's is it using??

Greetings.

As noted in the subject line, I have 1st gen ZBook. I've had it for a few years now, nice machine.

It has the NVidia K3100m graphics card but I don't know if that is the GPU the system is actually using or if it is using the integrated graphics on the processor ( i7 4800MQ ).

I Is there a way to check? How do you switch from one to the other?

The question comes up only because after a slight upgrade to the video editing software I use I get a warning that the GPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements for one of the titling components. The version I upgraded to is an older one (2014) so, not only current at the time this machine was built but earlier then the 2019 Nvidia Driver I have installed on the machine.

I plan on upgrading to the K5100 GPU at some point but it makes no sense if the machine is stuck on the Intel graphics.

Thanks in advance

 

Neve mind, found what I was looking for. I was indeed on the integrated GPU

I found that looking in Task Manager under the Performance tab; the Intel GPU was showed working, the NVida was static.

I then came across videos like this one linked below which reminded me about the NVida control panel and, under Manage 3D settings, switched the preferred graphics from Auto-Select to NVida.



Result: no more warning message from the video editor software,

Have a Magical Day
