    Internal Display won't swap to NVIDIA Graphics CardLaptop: Dell G15 5511System: Window's 11GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050 TI Laptop GPUProcessor: 11th Gen IntelR CoreTM i7-11800H 5.0GHzSo, I have set both my 3D Settings menu and PhysX Configuration to my Nvidia card but when I look at advanced display info in my settings it still says it is connected to my integrated. I have been dealing with this issue for the past week, I always had no problem swapping between the settings but I really don't know why it won't change back.I have tried re-installing and uninstalling everything FYI.Still noth

  2. Game didn't use the discrete GPU

    Hi ESOS_ ,

    I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

    To set an app to run on the discrete graphics, go to Settings > System Display > Graphics > select Desktop app > Browse > select the game executable on the Steam folder.

    After selecting the file, if will appear on the list, select it > Options > select the discrete GPU. If it does not work on the first try, restart the computer and run the game again. Be sure that you are selecting the game executable, some games use a launcher, and changing this option to the launcher will not work. (To be sure you can right-click the game process on the task manager and select "open file location")

    Game didn't use the discrete GPU

    I have one game that runs just fine before but now it won't use discrete GPU no matter what I do it still won't use it, the game is Grounded (Steam version) it recently has a full release update and since then the game won't use a discrete GPU even though I force it to but the game still not using a discrete GPU.

    It's only on this game, I can play other games just fine they're all using discrete GPU automatically.

    Things I've tried to fix it:
    1. Set the game to run using discrete GPU in NVIDIA Control Panel
    2. Verify integrity of game files in Steam

    3. Re-install the game 2 times

    4. Set my laptop to use discrete GPU all the time

    And recently I got a Windows 11 22H2 & NVIDIA driver update, so it's all up to date but the game still not using discrete GPU.
    What do you think the problem is? Is it my laptop? Is it the NVIDIA driver or Windows 11 updates? or is it the game that causes the issue?

    Thank you

    Game didn't use the discrete GPU

    I did what you said but still, the game not using a discrete GPU it's so weird because it's the only game that I have which not use a discrete GPU after the update it can run just fine before.

    And I've searched on Google and Steam Discussion but it looks like I'm the only one who has this issue T_T
