Steam: X3:AP uses wrong graphics card - resolved by NVidia driver suite reinstall

[bounty_hunter66]

I recently did a fresh install of both TC and AP and AP seems unable to recognize my Nvidia card and instead uses the integrated Intel card.

I tried:

-right click -> run AP with High Performance Nvidia Processor
-use Nvidia control panel to set AP to use the Nvidia card but it did not work; the settings made for AP are not saved for some reason

Here are my specs:

Are you sure? It is sometimes hard to tell. There are some further set-up hints in there too.

By the way, your RealTek sound driver is well out of date. Get RealTek HD Audio Codec R2.79 for Win7 x64 from here.

Make sure that your Nvidia driver is up to date, and while you're on it, also update the intel driver for your onboard graphics card and the realtek driver for your onboard sound card.

-right click -> run AP with High Performance Nvidia Processor
-use Nvidia control panel to set AP to use the Nvidia card but it did not work; the settings made for AP are not saved for some reason

Both of these work for me just fine. But you can also try setting the Nvidia graphics card as the default graphics processor in the global settings of the nvidia control panel, before starting the game.

Ok so apparently there was an issue with the Nvidia Control Panel as in it wouldn't save the settings I've made. A complete clean reinstall of all Nvidia software did the trick.

Thanks.
