[SOLVED] My gtx 1080 swapped with a intel UHD graphics 630

[thedeadlylordgaming]

Hey i bought a gsync monitor today.
It was a 1080p monitor and 144 hz and gsync. I set it up and everything was great. I did a benchmark inside gta 5 and i noticed that my fps was a little bit lower. I exited the game and i went into ccleaner to clean my pc and then i noticed that at the top of the window where my specs are it said Intel UHD graphics 630 instead of my gtx 1080. Is it suppose to be like this and if it is how do i fix this?

If you're plugged into the 1080 you're using the 1080.

Are you plugged in to the card and not the MOBO? ( Stupid question i know, but have to ask first)

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

so i have plugged into the wrong thing?

Plug your monitor into your graphics card, not your motherboard

I assume you must have a laptop and you are running on battery, the default windows power options will select integrated graphics.
For best gaming, you need to run plugged in.

On the nvidia control panel there are options as to when to select integrated vs, discrete graphics.

I dont know where to plug it in

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

I do not have a laptop

 

[Supahos]

Plug it into the port that is lower in the case and horizontal.

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

I have done that

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

It still dosent work

IF you're plugged in to the lowest HDMI/DP/VGA/DVI port, then you're plugged into your card, and CC cleaner just isnt detected it, which is fine. Also to mention if you tried to run GTA5 on intergrated graphics, it would be VERY noticeable and probably not get more than 10FPs. It wont be a "little" slower, it would be nigh unplayable.

i plugged my monitor into the same place as i did with my old one and it said gtx 1080 then but it doesent now

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

And if its just ccleaner that doesent detect it where can i check if its using my gtx 1080

Run DXDIAG, or download HWDINFO, or even run a benchmark like userbenchmark and those will reasonbly tell you, and it should also say in the NVIDIA control panel

 

[thedeadlylordgaming]

I did and it said i was using intel UHD graphics 630 both places

 

[lthampton]

Have you installed all of your correct drivers? And what kind of FPS were you getting in the GTA 5 benchmark

 

[Supahos]

Google motherboard, the Google gtx1080 and look at pictures

Make sure the monitor is plugged into the one that looks like the 1080.

It literally can't use uhd630 if plugged in that way

I am going to try to reinstall my nvdia drivers and in my gta 5 benchmark i got like 40 fps where in some places and i usally got around 50-60 fps in the grassy places and i do have all the settings maxed out
