I've got windows 10 on an alienware 15 R3. it came with a intel HD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA 1070 integrated GPUs. The 1070 broke, resulting in a blackscreen unless disabled. Today, i got the Razor core X external GPU runner and a RTX 2070, got everything set up, all the drivers installed, everything updated, etc. Im not missing any files or drivers, all files and drivers are the right version, etc etc.
After i deleted the 1070 driver (because it wasnt working) and restarted my computer, the 2 correct GPUs will show in device manager (the Intel HD Graphics 630, and RTX 2070), but when i run dxdiag, it'll show 2 displays (despite me only using my laptop's screen). The first and main display (my laptops screen) will show as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, and the 2nd display will show as either the intel GPU or the NVIDIA GPU (i can change this by disabling or enabling the cards from the device manager).
This is a problem for 2 reasons, it looks disgusting normally, wont let me run some games, and it keeps me from being able to open up NVIDIA control panel to mess with my display and graphics settings (results in a "NVIDIA Display settings are not available. You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" error" making it impossible to make my RTX card default for my games, making is impossible to play most games.
Geforce experience helps slightly by forcing some games to default to the RTX but anything with its own launcher (minecraft, farcry 3 [along with any other ubisoft game], escape from tarkov, cod MW, etc etc) refuses to launch because the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter doesnt have the right options to launch it.
Anything i can find online for help is rediciously old and half the settings that show up dont show up now because the windows version is either outdated, or not windows 10. I just want to play my games again man. Please tell me someone knows how to fix this, or default graphics cards without going into NVIDIA control panel. I need it to default to the intel card so i can launch the game with the display settings, but with my RTX card (if that makes sense???)
