BeamNG Does not use dedicated GPU

disloyalpick · May 21, 2017

Hi, I'm aware there is another thread about this. But my issue is a bit weird.

First I try to launch BeamNG.drivex64.exe by right clicking and going to "run with graphics processor" "High performance Nvidia chip"

Beamng launches but pops up the message that it is running on the integrated graphics

I then went into Nvidia control panel and forced it that way also.

But it ran into the same problem.

That's something that depends on your laptop configuration.
Check the power settings, a lot of them are configured by default to not use the dGPU if the powercord is not connected, or if it's in ECO mode.

That's one thing I forgot to mention. My powercord is ALWAYS connected. And my laptop is ALWAYS in high performance battery mode.

Also Win10 is my OS

Check within the settings in your Nvidia Control Panel.
It's not the game that chooses the GPU, it's the laptop itself. That would be a problem in the laptop configuration.

Don't you have an option to run the game on the dGPU when right-clicking on the game's exe?

The latest Nvidia driver removed the "run with graphics processor" option in the context menu.

I have already set the BNG EXE to use the Nvidia chip in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Try an older driver maybe?
