Some games only run with Intel Graphics and not GPU
I have a MSI GT70 laptop, the computer is only a year and a half old with a 870m GPU and should be fine but some games my computer will not with the GPU at all. I've tried about everything, forcing the game to run with the GPU and some various other things. All the games will run but some only with the CPU and not the GPU. Is there something else I can try doing to get the games working? Is it possible to start games with the CPU and then have it switch to the GPU while the game is running?

You may need to disable the integrated graphics in BIOS.

I tried doing that, I never saw an option to disable it.

Open nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings > global settings > preferred graphics processor > High Performance Nvidia processor

or on
Open nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings > program settings > Select each game you want to run on Nvidia Gpu only so the gpu wont be used in other stuff like browsers, etc.

yes, I've tried all that stuff. heres a more detailed idea of whats going on. For some reason I've found that some games simply wont start with the GPU. But I've played some of the same games where I had a HDMI connected and cloned the display from the GPU and the game would then run fine with the GPU. So I wanted to see if there was a way to force everything to output from the GPU. The last guy said try to diable the integrated graphics through BIOS. I can't do that but I might be able to through device manager. But im worried it might ruin the output and nothing will show on the screen.
