i7 4720HQ :)

I don't believe it has Intergrated Graphics :(

ah, but you do, it is a HD 4600 (same as mine). Heres the drivers https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=3720. Pick from the first two.

Thank you! :D

Oh really? is there a way to turn off the dedicated GPU to save battery? :)

Edit: the link you sent starts to load them redirects to the default driver page :(

nvidia optimus should so that; It'll switch to igpu when not gaming and to the nvidia when gaming. You can manually limit the performance by also going into power management and switching to battery saver.
