Bad GPU choice
I have two GPU.

I have two graphics cards, an Intel and an NVIDIA.

The game launches on the Intel card so it is unplayable.

I need my two graphics cards.

Is there an option to select the correct graphics card to use?

I configured the GPU via Windows and via the NVIDIA control panel, nothing works.

You need to force it to use dedicated instead of integrated, unless you using 2 dedicated GPUs from two different brands which can cause driver and override operation conflicts https://www.windowsdigitals.com/force-chrome-firefox-game-to-use-nvidia-gpu-integrated-graphics/

It s two dedicated GPU A770 et 3080TI. I have ever try this settings. Not working.

I need my A770 and 3080 at tge same time.

Download DDU, and boot into safe mode. Run DDU and remove all display drivers and shut down system. Install GPU you want to use in the correct slot and boot into bios. Disable any integrated graphics and reboot. Install the latest drivers and test.
If you are trying to run dual GPU on the same machine and switch between them, that's a whole different beast.

go to bios settings and decrease intel gpu vram to like 4 gb or 2gb i can't tell for intel but in my lenovo there is a setting option in my bios from 500mb to 4gb vram so i select 2gb for amd gpu then the nvidia gpu pick the the game with amd gpu in hybrid mode

It not iGPU, it's 2 dedicated GPU. I need one for OBS (streaming) an the other for playing.

That work correcly with all other. If you think there is no "correct" solution, I will simply get reimbursed

why not use 3080ti for streaming?
just force it in nvidia panel, find OpenGL rendering GPU and force it for 3080ti same for PhysX use nvidia maybe this will help, also do you have any data proving that streaming from 2nd gpu is better quality and not that heavy for CPU than from RTX card? I'm just interested to see if that helps with quality.

I believe there is an option in Windows to set preferred GPU for each application. Maybe this will help in your case. A quick Google search could give you exact instructions, but these are outside the game.

Windows options are not taken into account for this game.

The choice in the NVIDIA control panel is not taken into account in this game.

This is the first game I've had this problem with. I was told that this game was crap, so I waited until it was €10. I got my answer :D

Because my stream used 90% of the capacities of my Intel A770 due to graphics optimization, blurring and other effects.

Which would be about 50% of my 3080ti graphics card.

This is why Windows allows games to choose the graphics card to use.

The real question is why this game doesn't even support settings that even free games handle correctly.
