Windows 10 Upgraded from 8.1, GeForce GTX 860M, Can't Launch Games. +imgs

[♰♚K1NG♚♰]

UPDATED to 3 : read at the bottom.

Hello everybody!, I've upgraded this morning my windows 8.1 to windows 10, everything went smooth, except I can't play games anymore, I tried to reinstall nvidia drivers, but still nothig, oh and I'm able to play some games with veryyy low fps, I presume they are launching with intel graphic card and not the dedicated one "Geforce". No idea what to do! Requesting Help! :)

Path of Exile errors :

CSGO error :

Tried to run Terraria : Terrible fps, probably its launched with Intel.

Grateful for any help!

UPDATE 1:

Forced to use Nvidia graphic card
Using latest drivers avalible at Nvidia.com site.
- doesn't work

UPATE 2:

Uninstalled Nvidia Drivers and restarted PC.
Installed as Administrator fresh install .
Still same problems.

UPDATE 3:

Reinstalled Windows 10 from usb "clean install".

Still games start with Intel Graphics card ,even changing them at nvidia control panel to launch with nvidia doesn't help

Yea I just wouldn't bother with Win10 on Laptops where u plan to do gaming on at the moment. There are way too many issues with Mobile Dual GPU setups; such as Intel + NVIDIA. For that; wait for not only better Drivers, but wait til Windows10 gets it's bug-fix overhaul towards end of Aug.

Good think my laptop does not have integrated graphics at all, i had no issues.If anything games are running faster then they used to.

Why even do a clean install of your old OS if u are going to go to Win10; just clean install Win10 from backup media (using the MS Win10 Media Creation Tool) and be done with it.

Because on the four attempts Ihad tried before then (using the meda creation tool from three separate downloads) witha simple "upgrade existing installation" left me with a 12GB GPU that had no on-board memory and the usual "Nvidia issues installig windows 10". (not bad considering my specs which are on a my public profile)

Certainly wasn't something I did lightly. But each installation failing to give me a resolution of more thatn 1024 x 768 through the upgrade method made a fresh 7 install with subsequent installation upgrade to 10 a much better prospect. I evenhad issues with the disc install frmo a cold boot.

As I say, not a decision taken lightly but then, to be fair, I have not reinstalled this gaming rig since I built it last year which meant it was undoubtedly filled with a monstorous amount of crap. So, for me it just made sense. Even if it is something other users disagree with, it's what eventually worked for me.

Stil, the large majority of my Steam games are installed already due to proper file/system management so there wasn't all that much lost. The only things lost were my Uplay/Origin games (but that is because those systems are no where near as efficient as Steam at monitoring other discs), and some programs that I barely use.

But then I expected teething problems. New O/S that was more secure in the final builds of the tech preview wasn't really a surprise.

"12GB GPU that had no on-board memory" It says the same thing in DXDIAG on my computer.I have not noticed a performance drop though so i am assuming its and issue with the dx diagnostics tool itself.

yep, make you right. I think that is hilarious.

It would be good if the GPU could utilise the system RAM like that for better performance, but I might be asking too much. Thankfully GTA now recognises it as the 3GB card it actually is. I have noticed a marginal increase in performance on most games I have tried on 10 compared to 7. Although that can be explained away by the fact that windows ten uses a higher version of DX11 compared to Winows 7. Although I have noticed that Win 10 will only recognise DX11.0 and not the 11.1 or 11.2 that 8.1 was supposed ot be running. (don't know, never ran 8.1 in my system).

Having a system with a higher version of DX does not make games that use older verxions of DX run faster.This is from experience programming with DX 11.0 and DX 11.2,DX 11.2 does run a little faster but if i run a similar test using DX 11.0 it does not run faster on a DX 11.2 system.Also having the GPU use both the ram and the vram would decrease performance significantly, there is high latency between the GPU and anything else connected to the mother board including ram.A long time ago before there was integrated ram in the video card and the GPU was actually in the CPU it was a lot slower becuase of the latency between the GPU,Ram and the video card, they solved this by putting the three together making performance increase greatly.

Stay with the version you have

I have been looking at some literature, which doesn't give my personal real world experience just yet, that states that DX11 games will get a 5 - 20% boost in FPS with a switch from 7 to 10. Now, whether that is due to the O/S being marginally better at it's calls or whether it is due to the more efficient way the drivers re supposed to work with windows 10, I am unable to comment. However, there has not been enough real world testing of ten to confirm or deny the actual performance gains. Anything else is anecdotal. Plus, the benchmarks can't be trusted.

Most of what Windows and other apps have to offer will never show the correct GPU VRAM over a certain amount. I've used GPUs like GTX 780 6GB and 980 Ti 6GB; even in Win10 they don't get reported correctly. But it doesn't matter; it used all the VRAM in tests.

To view your GPU's VRAM correctly, use GPU-Z

I had this exact same issue with an MSI AG220 All-In-One PC with a GTX 860M installed; my NVIDIA card wouldn't be used at all (easy to spot with GPU-Z btw).

I tried everything and was ready to roll back to Windows 8.1.

I then tried the current NVIDIA beta driver (which is way behind the official driver in version number); v352.63.
I did a clean install of this driver (this is an option when you do a 'custom' install and not a standard one.
Now my card is actually working when I run games; finally. I hope this helps some others with the same issues as well!

Thanks for answer, my issue resolved itself alone xD maybe some background update was going on >)
