Help forcing CSGO to a specific Graphics Card

[geekrawker]

After my rant the other day about the update destroying my frame rate i spent a full day trying to diagnose. What ive discovered is that CS go is now defaulting to using my secondary crap Nvidia graphics card i use to push 2 tvs (video editor by trade). I've reinsalled a few times and the only way i can fix the frame rate is by removing the card and CS GO will then default back to the proper ATI graphics card.

Is there a way to hard force CSgo to a specific card? I cant "work (make a living)" with the other card removed, so having it pulled from my system is not a acceptable solution. There has to be some way i can use the consol to force the game yes? any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Just a note, the Nvidia card is not failing, actually i can run all my other normal games just fine with the Nvidia still in the system. Only CSgo has been affected. Please help! :)

Try using the NVIDIA control panel to choose your ATI GPU for CS:GO.

The only difference from this tutorial is that you have to select program settings -> CS:GO instead of changing the global settings.

Woot! thx buddy, unfortunatly i'm running mainly on Mac and in their apple "infinite wisdome" (bs - hate apple) they do not allow for a nvidia control pannel... but that gives me some ideals. I bet i can find a terminal script to do something similar. I do run the system on dual boot to windows for other non mac supported games. I'll test this on the CSgo install on the windows side as i do have the nividia control pannel installed there. :)

You can use windows on a mac, google it.

Trying this out https://gfx.io/

Little scripted program that should let me switch GFX cards on the fly. Since my Nvidia is pulled out at the moment, i'm going to go ahead and run a few competivie matches but i will reply later today after reinstalling the card and testing this software. Fingers Crossed! :)

Enzo, i do use dual boot... (running windows on mac) but the performace of CSgo on the dual boot leaves a lot to be desired, prefer running it under the mac side.

FYI the link i posted only works with a dual GPU MacBook Pro. No good for a Mac Pro Tower. Still Searching... in the meantime... CSgo is working fine on the windows boot. Thanks everyone for looking into it though. maybe the next update release will resolve the issue.

my nvidia control panel wont show up.. tried re installing it all, reseting, deleting and re installing.. done it all?

[geekrawker]

Not sure Jaxx.
This is a pretty old thread, might check elsewhere for your specific issue with the nvidia control pannel.

In the end... i wound up throwing out the old card and went with a dual AMD card setup in the mac. Resolved all my problems, and discovered the legacy "Crossfire" would work in bootcamp, allowing me to really boost some games under windows.
