just press f1 thru f10, ususally f8, f10 or f12...

hehe.. want him oc his 540

eh, u jz press....

my laptop uses the integrated intel graphics as default graphic card, can anyone tell me where to set the default to my gt 540? cant find in bios

u dont use bios.......use nvidia program optimus, then u can switch to nvidia card for generally everything or just for speciffic programs, or both......
just typz nvidia in your start menu on w7

you want it permanently use gt540?

trying it now

hmm if not then it will switch to use appropriate graphic cards depending on my usage? like when gaming will it change to gt540?

540 OC = 550

i really do not recommend using it permanently, can cause system crashes

can by modded ur bios disable the integrated.

currently my dxdiag shows its using my intel HD graphics. In my nvidia control panel, im using 'auto select' for Preferred graphics processor at 3D settings. Will my laptop switch the usage of graphic card by itself when i play games?

if theres a game u want to play, install a desktop shortcut for it, right click and there shud be an option to use nvidia for that game. also, if you are using steam (for CS for example), make sure hl.exe is
started up with nvidia graphics not intel from the nvidia graphics menu.

yes use autosolect for preferred graphics processor at 3d settings. it will not necessarily switch graphics for all games with this, but it usually well. however, because it mite not this is why u need to
customize exactly which programs the nvidia gpu should be used with in the nvidia control panel "program settings"

also, make sure java and java.exe in the programs settings are being used with NVIDIA, not intel, just click browse under pgrams settings and look for java and java.exe


gluck

ok i shall take your advice! thanks alot!

If what u are asking me what it hink u r, then the answer is no. if u go to change display settings>>>>advanced settings, you cannot change (i am rather positive) the adapter type intel hd graphics family

i feel weird that this is the case. Not sure if this is normal. Any other i7 N53SV users around here face the same thing? btw thanks alot Edz789 for ur great help!

wat... means no much dffrnt

crashh all the time...

most of the low 500 series are not much different from the 400m series.......read up on notebookcheck.com
of course not much difference...

geforce gt540m has 1gb and also 2gb cards? asus website now states that N53SV comes with NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM.

Added on July 1, 2011, 6:12 pmif your concern is for gaming reasons, then the extra &gb makes no difference at all. dont be fooled, for example: in gaming no matter the game, a nvidia 540m with 1gb or nvidia 540m with 2gb
will perform exactly the same (assuming everything else in the system specs are the same....)

1gb, 2gb vram, same gpu, for gaming = no difference, at all.

GPU/ Video RAM is basicaly related to screen resolution
It's not really important unless your connecting to 2 Ext monitor or using Graphic Design softwares...
For game actually 512mb of video memory already enough. Can play 1080p smoothly
