[SOLVED] Missing option Preferred Graphics Processor in Manage 3D Settings NVIDIA Control Panel

[ZoroDa]

Greetings, everybody! I was looking at a guide on how to use my GPU instead of my IGPU, and I found something about a setting called Preferred Graphics Processor, but for some reason I don't have it? Here's how it looks (reference)

As you can see, there's no such setting. How can I get that setting? Any help will be appreciated!

Then that's probably why you don't have it. You only have one GPU right?

Desktops use whatever GPU the monitor is connected to. Motherboard is iGPU, video card ports, then dedicated GPU. There is no software selection like laptops have.
