It's always best to get your drivers from the manufacturer's website. There have been tons of programs that advertised they would do this for you automatically. As of yet, none have really worked, and most really screwed up the computer they were run on.

I doubt this one is any better, but ya never know. YOU can be our guinea pig on this. :D

Thanks

Should I be displaying 2 graphic drivers like this?
I would imagine I only want to be showing NVIDIA and not Intel HD Graphics.

Yes, one is IN your CPU, the other (GTX 960M) is your vid card...aka...mobile graphics chip. :)


/e The Intel HD 530 is built into the 6700HQ CPU. It's called the Integrated Graphics Part or IGP.

Why it says Lenovo...who knows. LOL

Because the motherboard is set to proprietary so Speccy is viewing it as such.

Same reason I said LOL afterwords. :/

Every Speccy screenshot on a laptop has the manufacturer's name in those locations. I just think it's funny that they take credit like that.

You probably didn't know and now act like you knew all along.
