Hello guys Im using an Acer Aspire with the following specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 2.2 GhZ

RAM: 4 GB

SSD: Kingston 60 GB

G. Card: Nvidia Ge Force 550 GT - 2GB Cuba

OS: Windows 8.1, 64Bit

 

i have recently noticed that i also have an Intel HD Graphics 3000, can i merge the nvidia and the intel card so they can work as 1? and if i make it, it will be better or worse?

The way the Intel graphics core process graphics is completely different from the way nvidia does it. Since intel wouldn't be able to understand what nvidia is doing and same thing goes other way around, nividia doesn't know what intel is doing they won't be able to communicate with each other so it would just fail. So in short, no you can't have them work together as one graphics processor

Intel would suggest something which would work efficiently in terms of computing but when it comes to drawing it would completely fail lol.
