Alienware 14 (Mid 2013) Haswell model Nvidia
When using Fn+F5 my cards will not switch. It tells me "Your graphics solution is automatically configured for optimal performance". I want to disable the Intel onboard graphics completely and only use my Nvidia card. Right now I don't have any options to even USE my Nvidia card since everything is automatic.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled dell drivers, I have used updated drivers from vendors sites, I am on current bios for my machine (A09), I have followed the process outlined in another post that says the install order must go: Intel, Nvidia, On Screen Display driver.
None of them have worked. Please help.

This system works with the Optimus technology so there is no way to disable the video cards, you can check out this article it will help you to learn more about this technology.
