    Hello,

    I got core i7 4710HQ and Nvidia 980m.

    The problem is, that the game runs only on intregrated graphics even if I change it from Nvidia control panel.

    Any help?

    When you switched to the 980m, does it actually uses it? (Do you still get the warning message about it?)

    If no, make sure your Laptop is set on Performance Mode, better if connected to the charger.

    If you still get the warning about the GPU and ingame it says you are still using the Intel Graphics, then you probably encountered in a bug in the Nvidia Optimus Drivers.
    The Nvidia forums are full of reports like that. Sadly there is a very little we can do about it (and we already did that very little)..

    I think I had quite similar problem. Nvidia control panel didn't change a thing for me. When I lauched game through Steam, it still chose integrated. What I did was Program Files>Steam>Steamapps>Common>BeamNG.Drive>(application that starts BNG)> Right click> Run with graphics> (your GPU).
    Hope this helps

    EDIT: Only con of this is I have to go through these folders every time I want to play, it gets annoying, but it does the thing:)
