Nvidia optimus and 780M

Post » Thu Feb 20, 2014 5:26 am

Hello,

I have a new laptop since a few days.

It's MSI GT70 with a nvidia 780M and an Intel® HD Graphics 4600.

in nvidia control panel, manage 3d settings, i set TESV.exe, SkyrimLauncher.exe, Steam.exe to high performance nvidia processor.

in SkyrimPrefs i have sD3DDevice="Intel® HD Graphics 4600"

and in SkyrimLauncher.exe i have NVidia geforce gtx 780M displaying.

What can i do ?

What is the card used by skyrim ?

Thank's

How is your gameplay, i mean you should be able to play it at 1920x1080. !!!!! (even with AA and AF enabled.)

Your CPU is the Intel Core i7-4700MQ or better ???

You should get 60 fps on that resolution. !!!!!

yes 4700MQ with an 780M with 4go of gddr 5 and an Intel HD4600 with optimus technologie.

But Skyrim don't start on 780M.

When i start with endseries wrapper, end display Intel HD4600 like video card used.

And in launcher i see 780M but in SkyrimPrefs i see interl hd4600

i don't know how can i do for skyrim use my 780M.

First of all delete your skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini (C:\Users\ [Your name] \Documents\My Games\Skyrim)

Then watch this video from 0:48 and above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWUxboU7Zwg

As you see you can At Manage 3D settings, in the right panel [Program Settings], you can assign a game to use your Intel CPU accelerator, or your discrete Nvidia GPU. !!!!!

  1. Select a Program to customize -> Add (go to your skyrim executable folder and add TESV,exe)
  2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program: (You choose High Performance NVIDIA processor)
  3. After that push Apply. !!!!!

Try to use this monitoring tool: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/6491/?

You can choose your primary GPU. http://static-1.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/6491-2-1390753856.png
