    Okay guys this might be a silly question but I can not seem to work it out.

    My desktop and former AW18 I could use RTSS/HWinfo64 to display my system info as I gamed. I can do this on the AW15 but I can't seem to work out how to make it display the 980m details?

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Run/open a game or a benchmark before opening HWInfo. GPU-Z's rendering test is a good thing to do as it isn't heavy and HWInfo would be able to detect the GPU.
    Same applies for HWMonitor. Not sure about RTSS, but I assume the same would apply to it.
