Wolfshadw : Again, you need to check the system BIOS to see if you even can run both a discrete graphics card and the on-board graphics at the same time. On many motherboards, you can’t. If you can, you can expect to take a performance hit on the CPU as it tries to handle the on-board graphics output.

Is it possible to use two NVIDIA GPU at once?

From my understanding of Nvidia Optimus technology I do not think it is possible. The purpose of Optimus is automatic switching between a more powerful GPU for high intensity graphic tasks with likewise high battery drain and a less powerful GPU for low intensity graphic tasks with the benefit of less battery drain.

Is there any way to use the nvidia card for heavy tasks?

So is there any way to use the NVidia card for heavy tasks, while at the same time using the intel graphics for browser?
