hi
I recently bought a dockingstation (Club 3d ultra smart dockingstation). This device seems to work fine with the most recent drivers. However, my laptop (HP zbook G4) has got 2 gpu's. Whenever i launch an application which is more graphics intense, such as Cities Skylines, it remains using the integrated gpu. I want it to use the dedicated nvidia GPU. This problem only occurs whenever the laptop is docked.

I tried to update all drivers: displaylink, intel, nvidia. But that didn't really work out. Also i tried using the dedicated GPU on an external monitor connected trough HDMI, this worked, but completly bypasses the dockingstation.

I think the nvidia card doesn't register the two external monitors once they're connected trough the USB-port, because i can't even open the nvidiacontrolpanel whenever my laptop is docked.

My current system is running on windows 10 (creators update)
Do you guys have any idear what to do?

Thanks
jalal
