HP ZBook Power 15.6 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC (33D87AV)

Why on my HP ZBook Power 15.6 inch G8 Mobile Workstation it seems to me that I do not use the nvidia graphics card but only uses that of the intel?

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.

 

Let me check your basic system configuration before we focus on the <graphics card> problem ...

- Select <System Summary>:

System SKU

( equals HP product number (p/n) )

Processor

BIOS Version/Date

 

(2) Start Windows <Device Manager>

- Expand <Display adapters>

Since the OP did not come back to answer and because I'm very interested by this feature request I allow myself to add my  information and questions.

 

Firstly, that's not a bug but a restriction due to a missing option in HP ZBook Power G8 BIOS. 

Since GPU option in BIOS are only  either "Integrated GPU only" or "Hybrid GPUs" there is no way to have any of the discrete GPU option when OS is running, so no NVidia Surround or any NVidia display enhancement. 

 

In the past HP released BIOS for older model to allow this option to be selected in the BIOS (Discrete GPU mode).

 

The question is, when will HP will release such a BIOS for the ZBook Power G8 ? 
And/or where this request should be done officially ? (because we are here on a community forum and it's surely not the right place)  @Ub6424 if you can help us
