Question

No GPU acceleration, 2 Video Cards, one has 4GB RAM.

I have 2 video cards, Intel 4600, with 1.76GB RAM, and Nvidia K3100m, with 4GB of RAM.  I've been using PP 2015 all this time because I can't get GPU acceleration.  I wondered if it had to do with the 2 cards.  I wonder if my Intel card is primary, and that is why the GPU acceleration isn't working.  I saw something posted about GPU-Z, and I might give that a go, before spending more money on a graphics card.  I need to step up into 2017.  Any thoughts?

    Thanks John.  I haven't used BIOS.  Should I ask a tech person before making this change?
