[Help] How to disable Intel HD Graphics - ASUS x52jc-ex434d

[Retired]

I'm here to ask for help, I have a laptop Asus X52Jc with double video card Nvidia Geforce 310M and Intel HD Graphics (technology Nvidia Optimus)

There are 2 options in the bios for video card

1) Run the laptop only whit video card Intel HD Graphics
2) Run the laptop with nvidia optimus (the switch between the two video cards is automatic)

When I run the Aero test ot Windows 7, the system shows me the score of 4.2, which is the score of intel video, I don't want to run my desktop on the intel. I want to run my notebook only with NVIDIA.

Thanks.

Hello! Sorry to disturb, I have too a laptop Asus X52Jc with double video card Nvidia Geforce 310M and Intel HD Graphics (technology Nvidia Optimus) and a week ago I reinstalled windows 7 32-bit and since then it just won't recognize the Nvidia video card.What can I do? I don't know much about computers, but I don't think it's a hardware issue since I didn't drop it or any kind of shock didn't occur. Can somebody help me? Thank you!

@jals, try installing the latest drivers from ASUS' site. If that doesn't work, let us know. My guess is that the drivers are not properly configured for the system.

Hey guys, just like @jals above, I reinstalled Windows (mine 7 Home Premium 64 bit) and I have the same problem. I have the ASUS Bamboo Series U43. No matter what I do, I can't get it to recognize the NVIDIA card. I've tried so many things - ASUS' drivers from the website (which are seriously old btw), official NVIDIA drivers, beta drivers, modified INFs, all to no avail. If I get past the "no compatible hardware" error, then the closest I get is "Windows has found a driver for your device. However this driver does not support this version of Windows." I know the hardware is there because I used it right up until the reformat/reinstall. Looking at the inf files, each one I've tried using, Windows 7 and Vista 64bit are both included as supported. I'm stumped. Believe it or not, the Optimus worked well for me for the things I use it for, I enjoyed it - I should say well enough, that is, as I can't afford what I'd really like! 😉 But I don't like Intel by itself alone. Good for a lot, but not everything, so I'd really like the use of my NVIDIA card back! Any ideas at all? That don't include a new laptop? LOL! One thing I noticed, if this helps at all, (sorry if this is noobish, but learned all I know from guys like urselves on forums like this, but mostly in the Android phone dept. Haven't built much techy know-how up on the laptop yet, I'll git there!) When I did the reformat/reinstall, I used the ASUS included recovery partition as I bought the laptop from Newegg, and ships with all installed, no disks, the drivers and utilities in the folder you'd use to create your backup/ASUS Drivers & Utilities disk (labeled "esupport") now had even OLDER drivers and utilities! Thinkin this may have once had really old Windows OS on it originally and was upgraded, maybe even more than once. Yep, it was purchased refurbished. Thinkin this could be my prob?? Any help at all would be incredibly appreciated!!!

Hey... I have an Asus Notebook K55VD And it Has Nvidia Geforce 610M And Intel 4000 Graphic cards and i know Exactly what Overlucked says...
I Play Call Of Duty 4 and the maximum fps that i can get is 70-80 with doing Everything That you could tell... Changing Nvidia Control panel settings...
Right Clicking on the program and Choose Run with Nvidia Processor...Even Disabling the Intel Driver! but the game Always Run with the Intel...[When I disable the intel I get 4-5 FPS in game like i have no graphic cards] When I use my Laptop i separate the Battery so the battery life is not important.
I Really want to know how to Run my game on the Nvidia how hard is it if its Possible (Disable the Optimus Technology)

Come on? isn't there any solution how to turn off intel video?

Helo. I have the same laptop. I dont know why but my 310m card is hidden or something because i cant install nvidia driver, it says "cant find compatible grafic card". So i can install only the intel driver, but i need the nvidia for games... Someone knows why i have this problem?

Optimus technology is a really, really bad result to a genius idea. Locking the machine on a specific configuration is a tradidional Asus procedure, bad and stupid.
There is no way to disable the Intel HD and the optimization between nVIdia and intel HD on this machine is not good.

Brian@ASUS the selection in the nVidia control panel is fictive, the result is that there is no way to manually select the graphic card. Run tests in both manual selection and auto and you will see the same results. But if you really work for ASUS then you know better than me. The only way you can activate the nVIdia (to work behind the Intel HD) is from Windows. Click right on the shortcut and select : Run with graphic proc.... .

@MrSzekely89 : Your problem is the Windows. Use Windows 64Bit, Ultimate. Not professional or home edition.
I had Win 7 Prof. 32bit and I had the same problem, and when I spend more of MY money to upgrade the problem was solved.
You should also check that in BIOS, the VGA option is set to Windows 7/Vista, not Reserved.


My advice (as a Hardware Engineer)...sell it fast and buy something else.
Cheers.
