laptop display does not use nividia gpu

[Munco]

I have a intel I7 8th gen cpu and gtx 1050 gpu. I have enabled using my gpu with the application 'valorant' my main game in nividia control panel using the 3d settings and adjusting settings for that specific application. I also have in global settings, the preferred processor set as my gpu. However, when I go to look at my physx in nividia control panel, the built in display on my laptop is connected to Intel (R) UHD graphics 630 rather than my gpu which is next to it. When I go to display settings in with windows 11, the display settings show that my display is connected to the intel graphics and even though there is a drop down list, I do not have the option to switch to my gpu. My main issue with this it that I do not have display settings in the nividia control panel which allows me to try overclocking my display, but this could also mean that when playing games, my gpu is not in use and therefore I get worse frames and quality. Any help?

@Nirvana_95

woops was a bit busy. Where do I find the change resolution page? There is no display tab for me.

If you do not have those options, please follow the steps below once NVIDIA Control Panel is open:

• Expand the "Performance" option and select "Adjust GPU Settings" from the left pane.
• Click "Custom Clock Frequencies." Drag the "Core Bus" slider to the right to increase the processor speed.
• Drag the "Memory Bus" slider to the right to increase RAM frequency. Click "Apply" to overclock the video card.

Let me know the outcome of it.

Where do I find the performance tab in the nivida control panel? I only have the 3d settings tab which expands.
