    Hi,

    For some software I would like to use direct output from the GTX670m card. I did check Bios if I could disable the onboard intel HD4000 but I think that is not possible.
    In configuation panel => resolution, I can select: display adaptor on VGA but this laptop does not have VGA output only HDMI and DVI. But this should be direct connection on the GTX680m because when I click advanced I do see that adaptor type is the GTX680m.
    Someone with a solution for this?

    The IGP is physically connected straight to all your display outputs (including internal), turning it off or bypassing it would mean the machine had no way to output an image rendered by the dedicated GPU.
