Graphic card detection issue

[Anonymous]

I have recently purchased a dell Inspiron 7559 it has the nvidia gtx 960m. Considering it can run heavy games I assumed it can surly run AutoCAD but it does not detect my dedicated graphic card instead uses my Intel card I have already tried switching my Intel graphics off. Adding AutoCAD to my nvidia programs. Using the option to 'run with graphic processor' etc there trying to search other options for days nothing has come up really need some help here.

That last note in the article can be the important one.  Use a system monitor appropriate to the card (check the NVidia site) to check for activity; even though Autodesk may be reporting the on-chip hardware is in use the computer could, in fact, be using the discrete card.

Of course AutoCAD doesn't use the graphics hardware a whole lot.  If there are issues with slowness or performance, provide some details and maybe someone will be able to provide a solution (which isn't necessarily to do with the video card).
