    Up until yesterday I was running consistent 30fps (limited to that to avoid fps spikes) with my NVIDIA 3080ti Laptop GPU. Today I opened BeamNG and it gave me the error message "You are using an INTEL GPU. Please switch to your Dedicated GPU." I followed all of the steps that it gave me inside the NVIDIA control panel but couldn't get it to work. If I got anywhere upwards of 15fps I would be fine to use the Intel I9 Core but because I only get 3fps it's just not going to work. Any ideas?

    Specs:
    Dell XPS 15
    Windows 10
    11th Gen Intel I9 Core
    934 GB of SSD
    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080ti Laptop

    In the Nvidia settings you could try to connect the Nvidia settings profile with BeamNG. There are options for it. And check if the gaming mode option of windows.

    0.33 changed the name of the exe file so make sure to re-add it in driver and in that windows menu where you can tell it to use the dedicated GPU

    I had my pc logged into from an admin account and migrated all of the data there over to 0.33 and updated drivers. Now it recognizes it and I'm back to 30+ fps. Thank you all for your help.
