High Algo GPU boost not working, Optimus version : V

» Tue Sep 03, 2013 9:15 pm

Hello all I'm supposed to activate Skyrim.exe as a "high-GPU-requirement" in the NVidia control panel but the control panel for me has no such option. Whenever I try to start Skryim it just freezes. It was working fine until I began to mess with High Algo boost running with Cinematic ENB. Help? I have read the FAQ so many times I just need to do this NVidia thing.

Selecting a Preferred Graphics Processor

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel

* Select Manage 3D Settings

* Under the Global Settings tab, select High-performance NVIDIA processor

* Click Apply

You don't have to select the Nvidia GPU as the default GPU, you can also assign it for your individual games or programs that you feel require the extra power.

Assigning an application or program to the Graphics Processor

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel

* Select Manage 3D Settings

* Click on the Program Settings tab

* In 1: Select a program to customize, click on Add

* Browse to the application/game and open the executable file by clicking Open

* In 2: Select the preferred graphics processor for this program, click on the tab and select High Performance NVIDIA processor

* Click on Apply and the settings will be saved

Creating Optimus Settings for a New Program:

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Select Manage 3D Settings.

Select Program Settings tab.

Click Add.

Browse to and select the application executable file that needs the new profile.

Choose the preferred graphics processor to use from the drop menu.

This should give you further control on your notebook, choosing when to conserve battery power when the extra GPU strength is not needed and being able to assign the Nvidia GPU when the power is needed.

But : You are trying to run ENB and Hi-Algo ?, ENB needs a machine which can handle heavy performance. And Hi-Algo is for machines which cant. I should imagine the two are not programmatically comfortable running together, you can probably chain load them but one kind of defeats the purposes of the other.

Does Boris recommend using them together ?

Forgot to mention - I also recall reading something like you need to use the injector version of ENB for Optimus, instead of the wrapper version ( or vice-versa .. cant remember correctly ) - Probably same applies to Hi-Algo ?
