Can't use dedicated graphics since latest Win8.1 + Intel drivers update

[GSlaz]

Hi,

I've installed Windows 8.1 update, together with it newer Intel GPU drivers got updated.

Now I've noticed that I can no longer use my dedicated GPU, I have 2 gpu's in my laptop (Asus Zenbook Prime ux51vz):

Intel HD 4000

GeForce 650m GT

Previously I was able to right click an app, select "Run with graphics processor > Here select Intel/Nvidia" and it worked fine.

Now after the update, no matter which option I choose, I always end up with "Intel HD 4000".

The only situation I can use the dedicated GPU now, is when I connect a HDMI cable to my laptop and connect a external monitor.

In this situation I can use ONLY Nvidia GPU, if I select run with Intel, I will still end up with Nvidia.

But I want to use Nvidia GPU when I am not connected to external monitor.

Any help?

This is still not solved.

I have all the latest:

-BIOS

-Windows Updates

-Nvidia GPU Drivers

-Intel GPU Drivers

Hello Esenthel,

Your computer comes with a special configuration called Switchable Graphics. This configuration allows the system to use either the dedicated graphics card or the onboard graphics card. From our side, we can provide the graphics driver but it seems you have already installed it.

In any case, you can install the latest one at the following link:

If after installing the driver issue persists, my best recommendation is to contact the computer manufacturer so they can provide the correct configuration of the switchable graphics.
