Graphics card issues with drivers

[ericestrella]

So funny story, I was painting my room so I had to unplug my gaming PC, when finished I plugged it all back in. Problem was I accidentally plugged the monitor not with the graphics card, my GTX 680, but the one on the motherboard, so when I turned it on it was using the built-in graphics card on my i5-3570K CPU. Steam and windows detected that I was using the Intel HD graphics card. Well after face palming myself I fixed the issue. However, steam is still detecting that I'm using the driver for the Intel HD graphics card, I checked with geforce.com and with Geforce Experience and both say I'm using the latest Nvidia driver 335.23. I figured let me just uninstall the Intel HD graphics driver from the control panel then, restarted the computer, and Steam still says I'm using the Intel HD graphics driver. I ran a game with Fraps and checked the framerates to see if it matched with what I was getting before the paintjob in my room and while it was certainly around where it used to be, it still feels like it's missing a few frames, sort of like "Before in this part it would run at like 85, now it's sort of like at 80" Can anyone recommend something to fix this issue, I uninstalled the Intel HD graphics driver from the control panel but Steam still detects it, what should I do?! Should I perhaps reinstall the latest Nvidia driver?

Never mind, I got it fixed, I went into the BIOS and disabled iGPU. Consider this thread finished. Problem's been solved, Steam now detects that I'm using the latest drivers from Nvidia for my GTX 680, games framerates are normal and what it usually is.
