Basically I've bought a laptop with Nvidia GeForce GT 630M, I've installed everything with the word graphics from the cd bundled with the computer, so bassically I've got some Intel HD graphics thing on my tray, and also the nvidia thingy. Intel HD graphics is telling me that I've got some Intel HD Graphics 3000, while nvidia settings are telling me I've got GeForce GT 630M, like it should be. Is everything fine here, or should I delete the intel graphics and media thingy? I'm getting a feeling that it misindentifies my GPU and overrides Nvidia's settings. I'm so green in this, help me out.

A symptom of this might be that Skyrim works ideally for me, but once I install EnB, fps gets to single digits. I think that has to do something with the drivers.

Check to see if Optimus is on your computer, that lets the laptop choose to run HD3000 on simple tasks and the 630M when gaming.

Some laptops(mine too) have two video card, an integrated one, energy saving but kinda crappy(on general purpose). And the dedicated, high performance one.
There's nothing bad having both on the tray, in fact you'll save on energy and therefore heat by using the integradet one for everything that doesn't need high performance(which is like everything except games(and delicious sfm)).
So i say don't delete the intel drivers! if you think your game is strangely running under the Intel vcard, reassign it in the Nvidia control panel, or just try Right Click -> execute with graphic processor -> Nvidia card.

Now speaking about EnB, they are notoriously highly demanding and maybe it's just the hardware that can't manage it.
However the first thing i would do, well second after the "assign to graphic processor" thing, is a driver update, usually that make miracles...
Oh and speaking of that i would wait for the 302 branch of the nvidia drivers, 301 seem a bit glitchy and fps-eating...

well that's my 2☼

Whelp I've just updated my drivers and noticed the problem is, apparently, with Skyrim EnB. For some reason, when I install EnB wrapper, the launcher says that it uses the integrated adapter, while without EnB it uses the GeForce. I've played with the options in Nvidia contol panel but I can't seem to force Nvidia on Skyrim with EnB. I guess that is why it's laggy with EnB - it uses the integrated GPU. Any suggestions?

By the way, thanks for the replies.

The problem is:
any d3d9.dll replacement like EnBseries will force the intergrated card to run the game.
To fix this simply download and use the injector (.exe) version rather than the wrapper (.dll) version!

That helped, thank you.
