Like NVIDIA and AMD, Intel releases regular graphics driver updates. Graphics driver updates are crucial for gaming. They often contain.

I recently purchased a Y540 that has Intel i7 9750h processor and a dedicated Nvidia GTX 1660ti graphics card. From what I read online, there is something called Nvidia Optimus that controls whether something is displayed via the Nvidia graphics or Intel graphics (from the processor).However, when I go to Device Manager and look at Display Adapters, I only see the Nvidia GTX 1660ti showing up, and not the Intel display driver. Same thing goes when I right click on the desktop, I only see one option to choose the Nvidia control panal and not one for the Intel VGA.I tried installing the Intel VGA driver from the lenovo website for my computer but when I click setup on that driver, comand prompt breifly pops up and then goes away, and it appears that the driver does not install. I also tried installing the Intel VGA driver through the intel website for the 9750h, but when I try to install that, it tells me that my system is not compatible with that driver.To other people that have the y540, do you see both the Intel and Nvidia display adapters in the Device manager? Or do you only see the Nvidia one? How do I know that Nvidia Optimus is properly switching/using the Intel display driver when needed?

Great thank you! After enabling Hybrid Mode in the Vantage software, now I can see both the Nvidia and Intel Drivers in device manager.Do I assume that Nvidia Optimus already installed with my Nvidia driver package? I cannot find much information about it. Is it quite reliable in terms of switching Intel vs Nvidia graphics when needed?I am coming from a 6-7 year old laptop that had a dedicated switch button on the laptop to choose which GPU is being used. I am very new to Nvidia Optimus and how it works.Thanks in advance!
