Solved! External monitor is detected, but shows a black screen Question Laptop With Broken screen and keyboard, how do I connect it to a external monitor? Question Laptop with broken screen shuts off after booting with external monitor. If there is any possible help, I appreciated it so much T.T I need those 150-200 fps back (90-150 fps would be grateful enough). To be more accurate, I remove the built-in LCD ( looks cooler, it look like I am having a keyboard with no CPU ) so that easier to see the external screen. The diffrnce is that I am not duplicating the display. I still use the same monitor for the duplicate display with what I've been using right now. Now I use a single display only, the external monitor (after built-in screen cracked), the fps drop to 30-60 fps even with LOW graphic setting. When I duplicate the display, it drop to 90-150 fps, but still in smooth condition. So u mean, my dedicated card will kick in if I play a game with high setting tht required high performance graphic? If so, why did I still experience some lag, some fps drop? is it because of the refresh rate of the external monitor?īefore this happen (before built-in screen cracked), I have 150-200 fps while in game with MEDIUM graphic setting. Any stuff that the OS wants rendered by the dedicated card is rendered by that card, then sent back into the chipset via the PCIe bus, then patchworked into the video feed from the iGPU. Many people don't quite get how Optimus works. Will use a cooling fan if it start heating.Īny experts help will be greatly appreciated If there is any way so that laptop will be using Nvidia graphic permanently?Ĭause I wouldn't mind the power consumption since I play games most of the time.
#EXTERNAL GRAPHICS CARD FOR LAPTOP SCREEN UPDATE#
There are other way to update graphic card without messing up with 'optimus prime' ? or,
#EXTERNAL GRAPHICS CARD FOR LAPTOP SCREEN DRIVER#
Use the provided driver from manufacturer website in order to keep optimus running? or, External Monitor in any way only detect intel HD integrated graphic ( did they? ) Nowadays they have driver saying my card included in supported card to be updated )ģ. ( need help if this was true or not, because most of this thread is from long ago post. Must be installed from laptop manufacturer website. Some thread from or not from here told that Most of Laptop's graphic driver shouldn't updated through the graphic site in my case it's Nvidia page. This laptop have optimus technology and maybe I broke it ( cause I didn't know if there was an optimus technology exist -technology newbie- )Ģ.
So this is some of my assumption of the cause :ġ. It make me jump to the conclusion that my discrete graphic was never used. Guess what, GPU activity shows no activity. Reason is to see whether the game appear or not in GPU activity tray icon. "Alt+Tab"ing every games that demand high graphic processor. Nvidia Control Panel with 3D setting also didnt change the graphic used. (mean still using integrated if i choose run with high performance nvidia processor).ĥ. "Run with graphic processor" menu also didnt working. Try disabling Intel HD graphic from device manager, then monitor only detect VGA display with lowest resolution (like a safe mode), but not detecting the already 'enabled never disabled' Nvidia graphic.Ĥ. Discrete Nvidia gtx760m from Nvidia pageģ. Updated both graphic driver to the latest version.
Only show the DVMT under graphic setting.Ģ. Try to find the bios setting which the forum recommended to change it through the bios setting, and I cant find it. In case the experts want to know what have I done :ġ. Cant set game for the recommended setting for high quality visual viewing. Thats why I really want the external monitor to use the discrete graphic cause right now I still got my not very old asus monitor.ĥ. Cant find nearby spare part at this time. The biggest reason of this thread is because my laptop screen crack. Monitor still using Integrated graphic.Ĥ. Tried possible solution in this forum, but nothing seems working. (by clicking Advanced settings inside Screen Resolution )ģ. because every time I connected external monitor to the laptop, it shows monitor only using Intel HD graphic card. I want the external monitor to run with the discrete graphic and not the integratedĢ. Graphic card : Nvidia gtx760m (latest driver by June 2015)ġ.
