Hello.
I have an Acer Aspire V3-531G laptop with Windows 10 x64 installed. The sticker on the laptop is Nvidia Gforce GT 630M 1GB. In Device Manager under Display Adapters - Intel HD Graphics. In BIOS, too, Intel 128Mb. If I download the driver from the Nvidia site, the installation fails: this graphics driver did not find compatible graphics hardware.
Please tell me, is this normal? Should be Intel HD Graphics? How will this affect games?

Intel HD is a graphics card built into the processor. Used in desktop mode. NVidia GeForce must be enabled in games. Install the GPU-Z program and find out the model of the video card. Download the driver from the official nvidia website www.nvidia.ru/Download/index.aspx?lang=ru

I advise https://www.aida64.com/ or https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
Win+R -> dxdiag -> Display
In addition to the spec, check the card in the laptop visually!
PS: under *nix:
---------------
glxinfo, lspci, lshw
sudo lshw -C display
GUI: lshw-gtk
------------
ATI: aticonfig --odgc, aticonfig --odgt
Nvidia: nvclock
