Hi guys & gals,
So my new Optimus V arrived yesterday and I spend most of my evening exploring it (a fine piece of equipment). I'm some what of a newbie when it came to what I should include so I took most your your advice on the forum & also PCS in building it. I plan on posting a 'first impression from a beginner' soon which I'm sure you'll all have a good laugh at.
My question is this (and probably reflects a beginner gamer), when I am playing a game, how do I know my graphics card is in use? I've read a lot on my machine about integrated graphics but I want to obviously make sure I utilise everything I paid for. For that matter, when can I find out more about the graphics on my machine? Probably a very, very simple question for most of you but I'm sure there are similar users out there who struggle where to find where things are. There is a Nvidia icon on my desktop which I have yet to load, but in terms of the card...is it in constant use or does my machine flick between the two?
Thanks for the help in advance.
