External Monitor Using CPU!
So i was looking into my nvidia 3d setting and i noticed that when i picked which processor to use, in the description it said- 'Programs that launch on external displays that are driven by the nvidia gpu will always use the cpu'. Does this mean that my gpu is being rendered useless?

Make sure your external monitor is connected to a display output on your GPU, not the display output on your motherboard IO sheild

Is this a Desktop or Laptop?
Many laptops, even with both Intel iGPU + dedicated NVIDIA GPU; external Displays often can't use the NVIDIA GPU at all. Depends on the laptop model.

If this is a Desktop, do not use the Motherboard Video I/O ports, as those will only use your Onboard GPU.
