Problem with Nvidia Geforce 740M

[mwp5160]

I cant get games to see the Nvidia gpu but I see it in device manager and it says it's working correctly. I 've tried uninstalling and reloading the driver. I've tried going into the Nvidia control panel 3d settings and setting as default but I think maybe Gpu is bad or I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

To check which GPU a game is using, open the Task Manager and enable the “GPU Engine” column on the Processes pane. You'll then see which GPU number an application is using. You can view which GPU is associated with which number from the Performance tab.

And, also try this method:

1. Click Start and then Control Panel. Select Classic View from the left side of the window.
2. Double-click NVIDIA Control Panel.
3. Click View and next Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area.
4. Click the new icon in the notification area.

To configure the NVIDIA graphics, all you need to do is open the NVIDIA Control Panel. This can be searched for, or you can right-click on the desktop and it may appear. Updating the NVIDIA driver for your notebook is also a suggested option.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
