Games dont start on GTX 950M,start on integrated graphics

[Kyuss22]

Hello,

I know that there are almost identical threads like this one but none of them was helpful to me.
I bought a laptop yesterday with these specs .
(My laptop is an ACER ASPIRE E575G).
Now the problem I face is what I mentioned on the title.
Games won't play on the GTX 950M but instead they start on the Intergrated Graphics.

I need some help making it work.
Thanks in advance.

Open Nvidia control panel, under 3d settings, you can select which GPU you want to use for each program.

Thanks for the answer.
Even though I can choose which GPU I want the game to start with , in the end the game runs really slow which means,at least that's what I believe,that it's still running on the Intergrated Graphics.

You can tell for sure, install GPU-Z. Open the sensor tab and select the nvidia gpu at bottom, see if it shows load on it.

The 950m isnt exactly fast, so maybe you are expecting too much from it?

These are the results taken from GPU-Z :

Intergrated Graphics and GTX 950M

The photos were taken while Hearthstone was running on the background ( being laggy and stuttering ).
I think that the GTX 950M can handle Hearthstone.In the meantime NVIDIA's GPU activity tracker isn't listing Heartstone.

Upgrading to Windows 10 and installing the drivers from the CD fixed everything.

Yeah looked like there you didnt have all the drivers installed.
