    Just curious by why do you need to show it? And the only way I know of doing such a thing is to turn off the integrated graphics which isn't possible. :(

    DxDiag will only show the Intel graphics card, even if you force it to run with the nVidia card. I'd recommend installing GPU-Z if you need detailed information about your card. It will have a drop-down for "intel 3000 series" and "nVidia GT550m"
