Video card issue?

[ingeborgdot]

I purchased an HP Envy. It has an i7 quad core CPU plus the Intel HD 4600 graphics but I also got the Nvidia GTX 950M dedicated graphics that I wanted. The problem is when I run the WIndows 7 experience my graphics gives me a 5.2 reading which is not good. When I go to the detailed performance it shows only the HD 4600 for graphics and not the Nvidia 950. What gives?

It seems there's a problem with latest notebook drivers from nVidia. Maybe it's your case:

WEI doesn't matter.

I wouldnt bother messing with it. But if you really want to run WEI using your NVidia gpu, then go into NVidea control panel and select it as your preferred GPU for desktop.

Optimus probably isn't using the discrete card for the WEI tests. If you really want it to use it for some reason, do what sm625 says above.
