Both Intel and NVIDIA graphics software on Inspiron 7580.
I just got a new Inspiron 7580 with NVIDIA GE Force MX150 graphics, but it also has Intel Graphics software running in the system tray. Why both?

The Nvidia GPU is a discrete graphic controller. The Intel GPU is integrated into the CPU, hence both show in the system tray and Device Manager. The Discrete GPU in the 7580 is a hybrid video, (the "discrete" GPU boosts the Intel GPU, but CANNOT run independently of it).
Thanks to a forum post by ejn63 for that information.
