Hi folks,
When setting up to fly, I used to have an option as to which graphics to use. I always use the GTX 1070. But you can use the intel gpu. I've simply forgotten how to find this option so I can choose like I used to.

Thank you.

Hi wkitty42, I'm using Windows 10.
I cannot find where the 3D Nvidia control panel is. I used to use this but now I cannot find it on the Nvidia content page. Really odd !!
Thanks for your reply.

Usually both the Nvidia control panel as well as the Geforce experiecnce app reside in your system tray in the bottom right hand corner to the left of the time; you may need to click on the "^" to pull up the toolbar; but if isnt there then just do a search from the start menu "nvidia control..." it should populate and then you should be able to select it from there. Check your "startup apps" it should be in there too when you have restart the box.

Some newer Windows versions deprecated the Nvidia control panel option - there should be a graphics card preferences area somewhere in the main Settings app in this case.
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.
