On my WEI it only shows the HD 4000 graphics?

Oh nevermind, I just researched that you can't use the discrete graphics card in WEI Windows 8.

My WEI looks like this:

I know we have different models (G75 vs. G46), but shouldn't my WEI show the Intel HD Graphics as well? Or does the G46 have switchable graphics (whereas the G75 doesn't)?? I'm just curious. 🙂

I don't believe that the G75 has Optimus, which I know that the G46 does have. That has a lot to do with it, since the graphics subcomponent is all 2D stuff, which doesn't trigger the nVidia card to run.

I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!

Thanks for the reply! 🙂 You are correct, the G75 doesn't have Optimus. I didn't know that the G46 did. I appreciate the help!
