Game always detects wrong GPU

[TheDarkAdmiral]

The Game ALWAYS runs on the Graphics Module of my CPU instead of my GPU and there is no way i have found to change that. It is annoying and ruins the game for me. Is there any way i can change that in game?

Graphic Cards Problem

So, I have a pc that has integrated graphic card ( Intel something ) and a regular one ( Nvidea GeForce 1050 ), and for some reason the game chooses to run on the integrated Intel one, even though the GeForce 1050 should be better. I didnt find a way to change this, in the start up window settings nor in the started game setting.
Does anyone have a sugestion, where I could find it or what I could do to switch to the other card ?
The game is sometimes laggy and I think this is the reason.

Use nVidia Control panel for assign to exact game your better graphics. I expect all drivers are up to date etc...

Thanks, do you know how to set it in the Nvidea Control panel though, because I dont.
Edit. Ok I found it, thanks again though.
Edit 2: For some reason Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic is the only game that has the integrated graphic card set as primary, havent seen it at any other game.
Also It runs so smooth now, god, no lag or anything.

Unless you particularly need the integrated GPU of the CPU then I suggest to disable that in the BIOS, that is what I have done. Only do that if you are sure in how to do it.
You could also disable the integrated GPU within Device Manager.

Otherwise....

However to resolve the issue, it seems to be a "Windows / GPU driver thing" there are various options depending if you have an Nvidia or AMD card.

This might help you....

Perhaps this could also be relevant if the above does not work....

I assume that AMD has something similar, you don't mention your dedicated GPU brand.

I disable the sound aspect of my Nvidia GPU, those were sometimes selected over the Realtek audio device I use.


best of luck.

Is it an Intel iGPU built into the CPU, and not your dedicated GPU...?

What is your dedicated GPU..?

Laptop or PC.?

yea its intel built into the cpu. my graphics card is a nividia geforce 3060 ti. i used the control panel and set it but it didnt work then i specifically looked for the game and dont even see it

[Sharknadohehe]

im desktop as well. i also went into my setting on display and added it and set it to use my 3060 and still nothing

Then you could disable it, if not used.
If you are comfortable in doing that.
I disable mine in the BIOS so it is not available.
It can be done within device manager.

Only do the above if you are familiar, Google or YT etc might guide you. But don't go into the BIOS if you are not familiar.
The suggestions previously posted should be helpful.

Understand and agree.

Do neither of those videos help you..?

How comfortable would you be in trying out....

it might help you, no guarantees as I disable the iGPU within my BIOS. But there will be settings that you could need to configure.

Take a look at YT, plenty of other vids explaining this.


Good luck.
