[SOLVED] Uses wrong GPU (intel 4600) instead of GTX 970

[Marcel]

First of all ... Sorry, I cant post in technical issues ...

Just bought SE and wanted to test it ... started on my second screen, so i got suspicious.
SE just runs on my Intel 4600 instead of GTX 970! There is no Nvidia GPU to select.
I searched for solutions but none helped....
My drivers are all up to date,
I added SE in 3d options in nvidia control panel,
I put VideoAdapter in .cfg file from 0 to 1, later back from 1 to 0...

Never had issues with other programs or games! Just SE...
And by the way ... My main Screen runs on my GTX 970 and second on my internal! Works everything fine, no issues and i refude to disable my 4600.
I hope sb can help me out because i can't refund it anymore ...

I May be able to help u, but maybe not.
Firstly how are the Desktop able to run both gpu's at the same time? Cuz if i am not mistanken that can cause trouble like this and should not be able to start up with both. Otherwise they are both built in, but I looked up ur motherboard and should not have that option.
Next is that how are ur gpu's connected to ur monitors? If u are running 2 displays on 2 different gpu's, that could be the issue. Let me know how u connected Them.

Yes, each monitor works on a different gpu and works fine for now. My Main screen is pluged into my gtx 970 and my second into my 4600. At nvidia settings i can just see 1 Monitor (main screen) and at intel graphics settings i can just see the other Monitor. I dont know how this is even possible because i can move all windows from one screen to the other one but it seems to work.

I gonna test it today, but thanks anyway:)

*** SOLUTION ***

Fixed it now... It is a bit weird but it worked!
As I told Monitor 1 is on GTX and 2 on 4600, so i went into display settings on win 10 and
switched from extend desktop to just show monitor 1 (GTX).
Then SE reconised I got a second GPU and I was able to switch to GTX. I closed SE and activated my second screen on 4600 again and now i can start SE and got both GPU's.

I don't know how ... but im fine!
