VR Test is using the wrong GPU

[evril vvizard miku]

So, I decided I was gonna try the performance test, just as a "what if" thing. I closed most of my applications, ran it, and it told me that I needed to upgrade my GPU.
It used my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Intel 530 instead of my NVIDIA GPU.
Is there a way to fix this so that it uses my NVIDIA card instead?

Whats your GPU?
also are you on a desktop PC?

Can you give the model of the Laptop? can look from there, if its the 970M note its much weaker then the 970..
On any case you sure it VR ready? i understand some Laptops have an issue of how the stream out that it pass to the CPU meaning you cant run VR on it sadly (at least as much as i know) its not true to all PCs but maybe with the model can search and see if i can find any info on it

I'm not sure if it's VR Ready or not, that's why I'm trying to use the test. My CPU and everything passed, but my GPU didn't because it used the Intel card.

So whats the Laptop model? as said it may be one that will not allow you to do VR.. and it may be why its using the Intel Card
(BTW try to disable the Intel card from Device Manger and then try to run it again)

The laptop model isn't the problem, the test told me that it was the graphics driver specifically. I'm going to disable the intel card and try it out, but it might not work

I tried to disable it, but it used the Microsoft Basic Display instead, which is far worse.

Your laptop may be limited to only be able to do 60FPS and there for not able to do VR

There is some post some where that i think i remember a Valve employ saying that, sadly cant find it, but as its a limit of the hardware, its something they cant really fix sadly

I know my computer can go far over 60 FPS, because my frame counter has gone over 200 in games like TF2 that can go above 60.

Yes, that is all fine and good, but can it export that to the HDMI, that is where the issue rises, not on what it can do on the local screen but on the external one (Like the Vive)

Not entirely sure what you mean, but I do have 2 working HDMI Ports on the sides of my PC.

I am saying that it may be possible that the 2 HDMI ports cant take over 60FPS out from them, meaning they cant get 90FPS to the Vive, meaning they cant be used for it

But i may be wrong (Hopfully)

My HDMI Ports won't have a problem, it's my GPU that I need to change. It's using the wrong one, and I can't change it.

I've having the same issue; I have an NVidia RTX 3060 but it is detecting the built-in Intel Iris. All my other games automatically detect the correct GPU and I have the latest drivers installed as of the current date (07/10/2023).
