GPU not detected by game!
« on: September 17, 2021, 03:28:18 AM »
Hello!
I have a laptop with and integrated Intel gpu as well as an NVIDIA GPU.
Not matter what i do, the game only detects the Intel GPU.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Ive tried clean installations of the game, the GPU and even reistalled Windows 10.
Cheers!

Try turning off the integrated GPU in bios.

You can also tell Windows what GPU to use for what application.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Not working. It won't run on my GPU no matter what I try. It just runs on my garbage intel UHD, not my geforce.

I've tried everything even in Nvidia control panel to make it use my Geforce and the game will not run on on my GPU, just the intel UHD. Yes, I have Kobayashi Maru, yes it's GOG, YES my GPU is up to date. I have literally never had a problem running anything on windows 10, but this game is a nightmare. I threw $10 away on this. I am currently playing that anceint X-files FMV game without a single problem, but this game will not work. It'll start, but without my high powered GPU it's pointless.

I wonder if I can get a refund.  :idk:

Did you try and disable the integrated graphics in the system bios? Can you post a screenshot of what your display device options are in the graphics options?
Should look something like this:

No I did not disable the Intel, it caused problems.

where is the monitor plugged in? is it plugged into the motherboard or the discrete GFX card?

mmm usually there is a hardware switch on the laptops that let you switch from hybrid mode (both integrated and discrete gfx cards) to just discrete gfx mode.
