Just Cause 2 Choppy and Slow

[Chadden]

For some reason, Just cause 2 is running really choppy and slow all of the sudden. (My friend also reported the same exact problem on his PC)

My Rig:
2tb Seagate Barracuda HD
500w Power Supply
ASUS H87M-PRO Motherboard
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2048mb DDR5
-Formally Nvidia Geforce EVGA 740 4g DDR3
Intel Core i5 4440 3.10ghz
Windows 8.1

His Rig:
1tb Western Digital HD
430w Power Supply
Mother Board: MSI A35 78M
Nvidia Geforce 750 2048mb DDR5
AMD Athlon 3.80ghz
Windows 8.1

If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell me how!

How do I switch to my Video Card rather than my GPU?

press right click to game's icon and click the second option. you can do that via nvidia's main program.

but thing is, even if you changed it will actually not gonna changed. that is the problem with this game. you need to play with integrated card unfortunetly...

i saw some problem fixes about this situation, tried few of them, never worked.

Dunno about your friend, but for you, you can simply disable your integrated graphics (not a card—it's integrated onto the CPU die itself) and that should work. Your friend may have his motherboard's onboard graphics enabled, so he can just disable that as well.

Disabling any integrated graphics will prevent games from detecting it and thus use the card. You can disable a device from Windows, or, for the graphics, the BIOS; the former is the easiest way, as you can just disable it from the Device Manager.

For future reference: "AMD Athlon 3.80ghz" - This says damn-near zero about his CPU. There are a great number of Athlon-series processors. Stating the frequency is also almost-entirely pointless without the model.
