new Acer V3-771G not using graphics card

Hey all,

 

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire V3-771G notebook and replaced the hard drive with a solid-state myself. I love it and everything works on it now, except that it seems to be using Intel HD integral graphics instead of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics card that it came with, which robs me of a lot of performance. The Intel 4000 HD icon is running in the tray and is listed in the system information.

 

I've looked on the NVIDIA website under my particular graphics card for drivers to install, but it doesn't list any other than a couple of beta versions. I checked the Acer website for available downloads for the computer as well, but none of them seem to pertain to the graphics card. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Did you re-install all ACER related bloatware?

cheers ...

Apologies, I'm new to this. Could you elaborate on what you re-installed and how? I'm having that issue.
