When I click right in the desktop to select the NVIDIA Control Panel an error message says “You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU”. Version: Direct3D 9.0c Ĭaps: Shader=30 DepthRT=1 NativeDepth=1 NativeShadow=1 DF16=1 DF24=1 INTZ=1 RAWZ=0 NULL=1 RESZ=1 SlowINTZ=0 If that is not the case, then the adapter needs to be changed. In such a scenario, first, try to check if the adapter is working with other devices.

Another issue could be that the adapter is just not working. When I open a Unity log file (after running content in a web player) the log file shows the following: A lot of the time the issue is neither in your computer nor in your external display monitor. Problem is graphics seems very poor on the machine despite the NVIDIA display adapter supposedly having 512MB of dedicated memory. It also has the Intel HD Graphics Family on it - although I am a little confused as to what it means to have both. The laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M display adapter. Steps to change the default display adapter vary by device, so contact the manufacturer for more information.Noob here, so apologies for cluelessness … I am migrating over to a new laptop. For example, on some systems, you can right click your desktop and select the software associated with your additional display adapter. If your system has more than one display adapter, also called a graphics card, you can try switching your system’s default display adapter. Typical ports are HDMI, VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort. If your system has more than one video output port, try plugging your external monitor into one of the other video output ports. If those didn’t work, here are more possibilities: This can help to isolate whether the issue is with the monitor or the primary system

Try using the external monitor with a different system. If the new one works, you know the previous cable was faulty. Try changing the cable connecting the external monitor. Make sure the cable connecting your PC to your external monitor is secure. Connected docks, dongles, adapters and other hardware can cause conflicts. If you’re not seeing what you expect on the external monitor, start with basic hardware troubleshooting:ĭisconnect all accessories from your PC.
