Why am I getting "App submitted texture from wrong device!" error message?

[changarid]

I have problems running Elite in SteamVR. Other five games I tried worked, but Elite displays compositor (rarely it shows red screen) while tracking is ok. I had a look in the client log file and it says

"App submitted texture from wrong device! Make sure app is configured to use the graphics card that your headset is plugged into."

I guess this is because I run on Nvidia optimus with output from intel card. Any idea how to circumvent this? I'm running HDK2 in extended mode, so why does client care where the texture comes from?

In your nvidia control panel, you'll want to set it to prefer maximum performance for Elite Dangerous to ensure it chooses the discrete (nvidia) over the integrated (intel) graphics adapter.

If you are running on Win7, I've seen it often report three separate cards: one for the integrated card, one for the discrete card via hdmi, and a third for the discrete card via optimus (for the main screen connection).

Win10 seems to handle this much better.

Also make sure your drivers are up to date for both nvidia and intel graphics.

I have the latest drivers and nvidia is set as the gpu of choice. Any other suggestions? Maybe I will upgrade to win10 to see what happens.

What works is, if I disable nvidia in Bios, then E:D runs on intel gpu. But this is useless since intel gpu is too weak to run E:D.

Where can I verify, it this is my case? Is that somewhere in steamvr status report?

I haven't had a laptop that exhibited this behavior since before we added the status report. You could post the top portion where we list out the connected monitors and I'll take a look.

I just went to win10 and you were correct, the game starts ok. Unfortunately, I haven't saved a report for win7 so I can't provide one. Do you think it would be possible to fix optimus on win7? Otherwise, I will just stick to win10 :-/

I'm pretty sure that it's an issue that would require Microsoft to fix, and they have stopped making such changes to Win7 and instead are telling everyone to just upgrade to Win10.

I get poor frame rate with my gtx 880m in elite so I have to switch to desktop anyway, which should solve my problem. Anyway, thanks for help.
