Due to a problem with the display at the bottom of my screen, I've been attempting to adjust the custom resolution. My Nvidia Control Panel only offers 3d settings, which is not ideal. To resolve this, I should set my main GPU as the primary in the BIOS, but I haven't found a way to do that. In desktops, you would connect the GPU directly instead of the motherboard, but this isn't feasible in laptops. What options do I have now?

Using the Nvidia control panel is recommended, and this app should work.
