Hello Everyone,
I just got a new graphics card in the form of a GTX 1080. I have installed it into the top PCIe slot on the motherboard and the card works fine and the computer recognises that it is there. The problem that I am having now is that my computer seems to be defaulting everything to use the other card in my system that is a Quadro 1200k, which is way worse than the 1080.
I have the Quadro for cad work and to drive my other monitors but would like to use 1080 for gaming obviously. I have read online that people suggest using Nvidia control panel and setting the 3d settings of the application to use the GTX 1080 and the "prefered card". However, I do not have this option on my control panel. The next suggestion I've seen is to change it in windows 10 advanced display settings by selecting the "high performance" option. The high-performance option is the Quadro 1200k though.
It seems like the computer will not use 1080 for some reason. I have updated the drivers to the latest ones available from Nvidia. I have noticed that on the Geforce experience panel there is an option to have it "optimize your games" however it will not let me use this option stating that I need a 400 series card or higher. And when checking my system information via steam it only shows the Quadro k1200.
I really don't know what is happening or how to fix the issue and any advice would be great. Computer specs bellow to help out.
Motherbaord: Asus z170-ws
Processor: i7-6700k
Graphics card 1: GTX 1080 Zotac
Graphics card 2: Quadro k1200
Ram: 32GB
