Nvidia Optimus problem - everytime the default graphics is Intel in Maya

[Anonymous]

Hello, I need a quick solution for this. I was looking for it on the internet but I haven´t found anything related to this. When I use my laptop with Nvidia Optimus, it always runs Maya with my integrated graphics card, even when I have choosen the Nvidia GTX660M and even when I make the right-click mouse and run it from that option. 3Ds Max doesn´t do this things, but Maya does and writes me following when I start the Viewport 2.0:

Initialized VP2.0 renderer
  Version : 3.0.0.19. Feature Level 4.
  Device : Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
  Driver : nvoglv64.dll:9.18.13.1422.
  API : OpenGL V.2
  Max texture size : 16384 * 16384.
  Max tex coords : 8
  Shader versions supported (Vertex: 4, Geometry: 4, Pixel 4).
  Active stereo support available : 0
  GPU Memory Limit : 2112 MB.
  CPU Memory Limit: 7689.64 MB.

Thanks for any suggestions

ps: I have Lenovo Y580 with no option in BIOS to disable integrated graphics, only Nvidia.

Use the openGLExtension command to see which card is really being used

That output is from the registry which is showing the 1st card not necessarily the active card
