Hi, I recently recieved a Lenovo Y570 08626PU laptop with Nvidia 555m GDDR5 2GB graphics card, along side with intel 3000 graphics. When I go into display settings, and go into advanced it says my GPU is intel 3000, with 64mb of dedicated video memory. When I go into the nvidia control panel it says that I have 2GB of GDDR5 memory from the 555m. Is windows 7 not recognizing the gfx card?
Hello and welcome to the forum,.
Look for a switch (silver) right front of machine. It shuts off the intel graphics card and allows you to use the Nvidia.
Hope this helps

There are some systems that will switch between GPUs depending on need. My system will do that, if I had a discrete video card and the software installed.
