I am unsure of where the NVidia control panel is. Can you be more specific on where to locate this?

Right click on the desktop.

It is an Nvidia utility installed with the driver package (usually).

If you cannot find it check the Nvidia support website.

I find a GeForce menu but still unsure how to make it select Sketchup

3D Settings -> Manage 3D Settings -> Program Settings (tab) -> SketchUp.exe

Google Search: “nvidia control panel program settings

Try r-clicking on your SU desktop shortcut. You may have a menu option to chose your graphics option for SketchUp there.
