Hi, my GPU for the screen is the intel one, and this causes lag in games and heavy apps. For example, i get 40 fps with the nvidia gpu with a screen that is connected to internal gpu, however with an external one, with that same nvidia gpu only, i get 300 fps (in minecraft).
So please tell me how to connect my internal screen display to nvidia gpu.
Thank You.
Specs-
Intel i5 9300H
GTX 1650
(definitely not a gpu that'll give you 40 fps)

Sorry about that.
The last workaround I can think of is disabling the Intel Display device from Device Manager so that Windows will be forced to use the Nvidia GPU.
Open Device Manager >> Display Adapters >> right-click the Intel driver >> click Disable Device.
Yes Yes. i did exactly that at the start only, otherwise minecraft would use the intel gpu. so ive done it

Hi Anshul_8056
I'm not aware that you've tried it already. Have you checked your NVIDIA Control Panel? Open it, go to 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings > Global Settings. Under Preferred graphics processor, select your dedicated GPU then Apply.

You may also try if Vsync in Intel GPU is what's causing your low fps on games. You may try to disable it and see if it fixes the issue
Of course i have!! it didn't work. Please, like tell me how to change the display adapter for my screen to nvidia gtx1650, instead of the intel one, as in the external screen, it is set so by default. Please tell me how to do this for the integrated screen too.
Hi Anshul_8056, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.
Have you checked if your app is set to use your dedicated GPU instead? You can follow the steps in this article to force Windows to use your dedicated GPU for a particular app using the Windows display settings and see if this can fix your fps problem.
