GL752 Clean format, did i install graphics drivers properly? pix

when i took delivery of my GL752vw, i removed the HDD and installed two SDDs.
i did a clean format and reinstalled most of the necessary asus drivers, leaving some out that i felt were bloated.

i didnt install any of the asus stuff related to the video. instead, i installed nVidia experience and allowed it to install the video drivers.
on my desktop when i open the nvidia control panel it is populated with a ton of stuff, when i open the nvidia control panel on my GL752 there is only 3 things listed, and nothing for the display itself really...
did i screw something up?
the device manager looks fine, no "!" and games are running fine too...

but this looks odd to me...

This is absolutely, Normal. I've seen this before.

Because GL752 have Intel graphics as primary GPU, and Nvidia as secondary for heavy duty. Its called, Nvidia Optimus.
So you will find less options available in Nvidia control panel, such as resolutions or desktop color settings, this is because most of the settings manage by Intel GPU.
