choose gpu

[hal1000]

I have both an AMD GPU and an NVIDIA gpu installed in my PC - I run a multi-monitor setup so I need both. The problem is, that the VD defaults to the NVIDIA card, which in my case is an old piece of rubbish, so is there anyway to get it to choose the AMD card?

Thanks for any help on this - I'm using WIN10

Plug your main monitor into your AMD GPU

Well my AMD card is plugged into monitor 1 which is my main display and yet VD is still defaulting to my Nvidia card. Is there a config file I can edit or something like that?

Virtual Desktop will use the GPU the monitor is connected to, there’s no way to use a different one; that’s just how desktop capture works in Windows.

You said "Virtual Desktop will use the GPU the monitor is connected to, there’s no way to use a different one; that’s just how desktop capture works in Windows.- Plug your main monitor into your AMD GPU"

Well according to your logic, whatever GPU is supplying Monitor 1 should be the GPU that VD uses, this is my point, it doesn't at least in my case. My AMD card is connected to monitor 1 and yet for some reason VD wants to use my NVIDIA card, at least that is what VD is telling me within its Windows GUI.

I do understand what you're saying, but for some reason, what you're saying, is not what is happening on my setup. I'm trying to get VD to work with my Oculus Quest and I'm using the sideloaded (steam support version) of VD which I have paid for. I installed the sideloaded version of VD via Sidequest on to my Quest.

The funny thing is, this was all working fine when I was using the VD I had installed on the Quest via the Quests built in store option but that version does not support steam (I understand that's because of Oculus not your company)

So without stripping my PC down etc and swapping cards around and god knows what else, do you have any other ideas how to fix this?

Or maybe even a forum thread you can point me too?

I found an incredibly simple fix, I just went into device manager and disabled the NVIDIA card then relaunched VD, guess what - it then of course defaulted to the AMD card. This FIXED it - I then re-enabled the NVIDIA card and VD ignored it after that and went straight for the AMD card like it was supposed to (i.e. gpu connected to monitor one). I is happy again, BUGS are son's of glitches .
