Hello everyone ,
I purchase a laptop from pcs with a rtx 3600 GPU. I've got an issue with a displaying a display tab in Nvidia control centre. When I pluged in externals monitor everything work fine. So I figured out, it might be something wrong with a Bios options. I would like to setup dedicate card on default but I've got just two options- hybrid and -integrated. How can I toggle on this option???

Which laptop?
If you can't find the internal screen attached to the Nvidia it means it's using Nvidia Optimus, aka the Internal screen is hooked to the iGPU, and the dGPU is being used as a GPU coprocessor for 3d/shading calculations and the results are feeded to the iGPU to show the result.

I do know that Ionico/Elimina Pro/Recoil should have a BIOS (version 1.09 and later) to allow the switch (known as MUX switch) and allow the dGPU to properly connect to the internal screen. I've updated myself my Ionico from past BIOS 1.07 to 1.09 once they gave it to me. If you have one of those machines, you should ask PCS to provide the BIOS to update yours.
AFAIK Defiance and Elimina lack this feature, though. They are just Nvidia Optimus enabled machines.

Ok, it's easily solvable by requesting PCS with the 1.09 BIOS. Here in the italian forum of PCSpecialist.it there are quite few fellow mates with Elimina Pros which already flashed their BIOS (check the before / after in their pictures).

Ask PCS first though. Since warranty is a factor. You can flash it over only after they sending you the procedure/bits.
