  • Hi @davidgo, by entering the service tag, it says that my laptop is shipped with a 490-BCQW : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB GD DR5, but I cannot detect it somehow. Since I bought it old, is it possible that the original seller took the GPU off?

  • That is incredibly unlikely. I don't know this specific board, but all the laptops I'm aware of with gpu's have them soldered on to the motherboard. Have you checked the bios to see if its disabled?

    I went to my BIOS, but I was not able to find a setting to turn any GPU on and off. This is very annoying.

  • @Chen Just to ensure: I think name of BIOS setting was ~Primary Display driver~ for me, but very probably you checked carefully enough? (Delete this reply if excessive.)
