If your computer has two display cards listed, you need to update the graphic display drivers for both sets of hardware.

When using a laptop in low power battery mode for email and word processing, the Intel onboard display card might be used to limit power usage. For example, for high-end CAD operations, the NVIDIA display card would likely be used. If you see both Intel and NVIDIA display hardware listed, like above, your system is likely to use switching technology to intelligently switch between the two display cards depending on the current system requirements. On the panel displayed on the right side, the graphics display adapter will be listed in the Adapter Type or Adapter Description entries. From the left side panel, expand the Components entry and then select the Display entry. The following System Information dialog box will be displayed.
