i have had an MSI GS70 Stealth Pro for a few months and I'm not sure if this has been going on ever since i got it, but I just noticed the Intel Integrated Graphics icon in the task tray.  Does this mean it is not utilizing the GTX 970M??

Go into your Nvidia Control Panel (Right click desktop, NCP) and set it to use your high-performance Nvidia GPU

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

There ya go, nope, guess not, should have been set to auto-select by stock.
