GPU not recognised on laptops

[Jey123456]

unfortunately thats not an option for me (already tried and had to force windows in safe mode to recover XD). When the 1070 is disabled the os freeze lol. My best guess is that it would have to do with how alienware handle their dedicated pcie lane on the egpu, it likely depend on the 1070 for some of the internal stuff.

Another idea..yesterday I noticed the "preferred GPU" option in Nvidia control panel. Did a quick Google search.
Please read about it here and see if that helps in any way.

thats only to select between intel and nvidia gpu, it does not allow you to specify which nvidia gpu only "High-performance NVIDIA Processor", which is the 2080 for any other game but X4.

Normally the thing you cannot do, is actually use the 1070 when the 2080 is plugged in without the application itself overriding the gpu selection. X4 is the only exception to that rule somehow.


It's something i actually researched before i got my 2080 heh, i wanted to run some game on the 1070 while the 2080 would work on rendering, but actually controlling which nvidia gpu a game is using isn't possible without the game itself overriding the gpu selection.

Hi can you provide us output from vulkaninfo https://www.egosoft.com:8444/confluence ... VulkanInfo

For now you can override the selected gpu with 1b) instructions from https://steamcommunity.com/app/392160/d ... 8798322333
Note only pay attention to the "Graphics Card" field in the settings menu, the one below selects the Screen, and the name is based on the gpu the screen is connected to.

I already provided vulkaninfo and dxdiag a few post above.

"-gpu:1" did the trick, thanks for the link, went from 85fps to 230 at the same setting so i can finally play with everything maxed =D.

I created an account specifically to post this. I have a lenovo Ideapad gaming machine with an onboard AMD and switchable graphics to the Nvidea Geforce 1650, I was having this same issue until I launched the game from the NvIdia control panel and then it worked fine.
