    Since your display is hooked up to the Intel Card, if you were to disable it, your screen would stop working. The way that the laptop works is that the display is rendered on the Intel GPU and the graphics-intensive crunching is done on the Nvidia GPU. You don't need to disable the Intel card, but I believe you should have the option of right-click > run with graphics processor > nvidia or something like that.
