Intel graphics card isn't showing in Nvidia control panel.

[Kyutorias]

I remember having the option to change the used GPU between the dedicated GPU and the Intel one for different programs depending on what i want.
Going to Nvidia control panel i no longer have the option to choose the Intel GPU. It's being recognized by my system in the dxdiag and device manager. On intel control panel and even in the windows settings but Nvidia doesn't show it, even though i have another monitor connected to it directly via HDMI.

nvidia probably shouldn't show it, (I'll check on my main machine later).

I've always been able to see it and select it for different programs. If i don't want a program to be using the Nvidia card, i'd select the intel one for it.

My nvidia control panel is only aware of the screen connected to it, and not the other screen connecting to intel iGPU.

Oh. So you're saying that i need to connect the same display to the motherboard to have the control panel switch between GPUs?

this could help u, contains windows settings for selecting apps for integrated/dedicated gpu

I did that. I made Opera launcher to run using the power saving card. In my case the intel GPU. Still uses the GTX

Are you on a desktop or a laptop? What exactly is your configuration in terms of GPUs and monitors?

On a desktop without some trick software from the fermi era which kind of didn't work you can only use the GPU that is connected to the monitor.

I'm on a PC. Main GPU connected to a normal 21" 1080p 60 hz Samsung monitor, Intel GPU connected to an LG TV monitor. Both via HDMI.
I have extended display enabled. So i can have different windows on each monitor. I drag the Opera program to the TV monitor to use it for the Intel GPU and even with the windows display settings option to set it as Opera's primary GPU it still won't work.

With that setup, exactly the same as mine, I would not expect nvidia to be aware of the other screen, or the other igpu. Windows does the hard work of managing two screens.

Why do you want to control what apps run on what GPU's, they'll use the gpu for which ever screen they are on. Laptops can do something slightly different

Simply because i leave the PC and TV monitor on twitch.tv when i go to sleep and for some reason Opera is using about 25-30% of my GTX 1070. Which is not an amount i want my GPU to run at for +8 hours. That's without mentioning that i use the GPU on medium to heavy load 70% of the time i'm on my PC. So i don't want it to be running 24 hours a day.

Which screen is it running on when you go to sleep? Turn gpu acceleration off in opera? BUT that processing has to happen somewhere, so it'll use the cpu instead and the cpu cooling will have to do more work. The real question is what's using that 25%?

When i go to sleep my PC is running on my TV monitor which is connected to my Intel GPU. I just turned off "Hardware acceleration". My CPU is about 3-4 years old (Core i7 4790) and i'm planning to replace it soon. Not replacing my GPU though so i don't mind exhausting my CPU for the time being. I don't know exactly what's using 25% of my GPU but it says "Video encoding" in the task manager and it only happens when i'm watching a stream on my monitor. Goes down to 2% when the stream is minimized so it's all from the Twitch.tv window.
