Im not even a gamer I bought this laptop just to watch movies in my home theater via HDMI and I bought Power DVD to play certain formats in 7.1 surround sound. Furthermore when I try to switch the graphis card through the Nvidia control panel Power DVD is greyed out. Power DVD 15 is forcing me to use Intel HD Graphics 530 and there is no option to use the Nvidia graphics card. I have a Lenovo gaming laptop with Nvidia Geforce GTX 960m and Intel HD Graphics 530.
I don't understand that the NV card or the laptop doesn't let PD run with NV, but a player software can deal with it forcefully?įyr, my ASUS laptop allows PowerDVD to run with NV card no matter with or w/o HDMI output. I think PowerDVD does support NV cards.īut, for dual graphic PC, the VGA driver or PC should be the dominant to control the program to run with NV GPU or integrated GPU. I just tried to hook up the HDMI cable between the HP laptop and TV and guess what.? The PowerDVD still does NOT work with Nvidia graphic card by using "Run With High Performance Graphics" took it with a grain of salt, but had some merit. Oh, years ago when this was a hot topic I remember reading a thread - something about Dolby not being licensed on the specific hardware device inside the Dell laptop, thus the restriction. Make sure when you install Nvidia driver software you select both "Video Driver" and "HD Audio Driver". In fact, Nvida takes over running both audio and video when using HDMI. However, if you are pushing that video signal to a TV or other external monitor, the Nvidai software SHOULD allow to select the higher horsepower Nvidia card, but only if using HDMI cable. If I remember correctly, the only way it worked was if an external monitor or TV was connected with the HDMI port then I could activate Nvidia graphics to run PDVD.īottom line - the intergrated HD graphics card will handle any video you throw at your laptop screen (within its resolution).
Even Right clicking PDVD and selecting "Run With High Performance Graphics" did not work. I tried everything, including buying newer and full version of PDVD licenses, and updating Dell drivers constantly.Ĭyberlink said it was Dell manufacturer, Dell said it was Nvidia, Nvidia said it was Dell, and so on. Best explanation was that the Nvidia driver is modified by the laptop manufacturer and won't allow that selectioin.
The next year I upgradedd to the new model L502X, also grayed out as a choice. I had one of the first laptops that ran dual graphics, a Delll XP L501X, which was back when PDVD9 was out, grayed out choice.
