GPU Conflict

[Panda Behr]

I decided to try the storm series on PC because of the sale, but while Storm Revolution works fine, Storm 3 seems to insist using my iGPU. My notebook is equipped with an i7-4720HQ and GTX 970m, and when viewing Nvidia Control, the .exe for Storm 3 is greyed out for the GPU selection and is stuck on Integrated graphics. I tried running Nvidia Control as a administrator, and that didn't work. Does anyone know a solution for this?

I had exactly the same issue and i found the solution on another thread.

1) Download Nvidia Inspector to your computer.
2) Click the little wrench button next to the Driver Version box.
3) Find Naruto Shippuden profile on the drop down menu and delete it (click on the red cross).
4) Go to the Nvidia control panel,set the game running with your GTX970M.
5) Have fun with it.

I had the same issue, but now I just got a white screen and the task manager says the program is "inactive" if I try to start the game. I got a GTX 870M. Any suggestions :/

I've started to play this game today and my settings is greyed out as well. I've been trying to fix it. I know this thread is old but I'm sure it will help someone in the near future.

So it seems like Nvidia has preset profiles for almost all games. For Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, it caused an issue as it is forced to use the integrated graphics processor and not your GPU. Here's how I fixed it:

1. Download Nvidia inspector from here[www.guru3d.com]You may chose to extract it but you don't have to.
2. Now open the profile inspector from what you just downloaded.
3. In the inspector, go to the "Profiles" drop down, find Naruto...Storm 3 and select it.
4. There will be multiple buttons you can press but click on the "X" or "Delete current profile". What this does is delete the preset profile for Storm 3.
5. Last steps, open up the Nvidia control panel. Go to Manage 3D settings > Program Settings > Add. Add the NS3FB.exe from the usual steamapps\common\NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Ultimate Ninja STORM 3...
6. NOW IT'S NOT GREYED OUT ANYMORE!! Whoohoo. Select the preferred graphics processor (Nvidia processor or whatever).

Voila and you should be done. I'm not a computer guy so don't ask me comlicated questions lol. Hope this helped someone.
