maybe they shipped you the wrong pc to start with?
my alienware 17 r3 is great! except the Intel Graphics Windows (8) (it says that when it crashes after it says it has been fixed in Windows 10 and the laptop I ordered has Windows 10 since day one which was Monday this week) has crashed a lot.. maybe the drivers are in the infancy stage.. I uninstalled the intel drivers completey and installed newer ones so maybe it won't crash anymore
the drivers it came w/ said Windows 10 Preview for some reason in information but the latest one w/ just an update say 10 but now I clean installed it
also I was on live chat and the phone w/ dell a lot for some issues and questions before and after the order and they resolve it all!! if you just talk to Dell they will help you than you trying to figure it out and think you are on your own
lol jesus christ !! each intel processor have a integrated HD graphics to reduce the power consumption and when is necessary it use the Nvidia graphics card. maybe you dont have the nvidia driver installed, you can go to Dell.com and enter to support menu and find the driver for the gtx 960 searching your model or using the service tag of the notebook.
if this is not the case. make right clic on the applicartion do you want to run with nvidia graphics and select: run with nvidia graphic processor.
lol you dont know if a new model is going to come ? just wait a little i cant remember, but somewhere i read about an especial edition of the AW18 with 6th gereneration intel core.

At least you have got your computer, I have had to reorder my computer (Alienware 18 gaming) twice and now they want me to reorder it again.

I thought the 18 was being discontinued once they sold out of them?
