Hi,

Here are the steps on how to check which card is being used or not.
- Right click on your desktop screen without hitting any icons and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
- Click View then Display GPU Activity icon in Notification Area.
- Click the new icon in the notification area at the bottom right hand corner. It will show you a pop-up application using the NVIDIA graphics. If the NVIDIA graphics is not in used it will not appear on the notification area.
