    I have a Geforce 750M + Intel 4000 HD as integrated graphics.
    The BeemNG Demo runs fine with good FPS, now i bought the Alpha and even when I set all settings to lowest and disable all Post-Processing features, I do not even get more than 5 FPS.
    I used the option in the Nvidia Settings to force BeemNG to use the Geforce 750M, plus activated the feature to show the Nvidia Logo when the card is used.
    However the Nvidia logo doesnt show up, so I guess the reason for my low FPS is that the INTEL 4000 HD is used instead of my Geforce.

    Any clue what to do? I have updated to the lates Nvidia Drivers, the trick posted here on the board to force the game using the Geforce doesnt work.
    The game is unplayable for me now :-(

    This should work, another solution is to manually select it before you launch Beamng by Right clicking and then choosing the nvidia Graphic card on the list.

    If you right click on the BeamNG icon on your desktop, there should be an option at the top that says "Run with graphics processor". Then you can click the high performance nvidia processor or when you have that open you can click on the settings and set it to where it uses the 750m as the default card. Hope that helps;)

    As I wrote in my initial postings: i tried all that. But it doesnt work!

    Another idea? It seemed to work well with the Demo
    , But the Alpha refused to work with the GeForce :-(

    Disable NVidia Optimus, optionally go into the BIOS for your machine and disable the onboard graphics chipset entirely AT YOUR OWN RISK

    Like most modern, laptops, I have no such option in my BIOS settings.

    So BeamNG is unplayable an all laptops who got 2 GPUS? (which is about 99% of all gamer-notebooks I guess)?
    Hope that is gonna be fixed soon. It worked fine in the Demo, why not in the Alpha?

    nope, my Acer V5 for example or MSI 60 series doesnt. I think UEFI is the reason for that

    Re: Need help: Low FPS: The "force BeemNG to use Geforce, instead of integrated INTEL" does not work for me!

    most manufacturers simply doesnt care about standards. My Bios has options for boot order & Sata, but thats it.
    I wonder why everything worked fine in the Demo, while the Alpha failed on that.

    ;-) Didn't expect that. Problem solved. Topic can be closed. Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
