Techdemo doesn't recognize my graphics card

Hi I own a mediocre laptop that has two graphics cards:

- NVIDIA 540M 1gb (estimated processing equivalent of 8800 series)

- An integrated Intel graphics piece of crap.

Unfortunately the Drive techdemo only recognizes the intel card. I've tried forcing the program to use the NVIDIA card through the NVIDIA control panel, but this does not seem to work. When I start up the demo and go to options, I only see two options for graphics card: "Intel HD graphics family (d3d9)" and "GFX Null device", which the latter I assume is self-explanatory. My nvidia card does not even show up on the list of graphics drivers.

Not a huge deal because I can run the demo at 20fps on normal settings but it would be nice to have a solution to this.

 

Right click on desktop and go on nvidia control panel. Go on Manage 3D settings then Program settings. Add one and add BeamNG Sandbox. And change use global settings to High-performance NVIDIA processor. Then that should work. And I don't know if setting PhysX configuration to your nvidia graphics card will change anything. I felt like it made my FPS higher so I changed it. (It will still say your using your integrated graphics card. But it will be using your NVIDIA card)

 

Thank you I had the same problem. I can now run it on high/maxed out no problem
