Hi!

I'm running the game on a laptop with dual GFX's - one standard and one 630 NVIDIA G-FORCE - however, I seem to only being able to render EVE on the "HD Family" GFX.

Is there a way, that I can utilize my 630, and move on from the 2003 graphix which is what I see atm.

Hope for your help

The whole Nvidia Optimus thing sadly is a stillborn makeshift solution, never to really take off, I experienced the same thing with a laptop. Have you tried putting the Exe-file into the Nvidia List of games to run with the dedicated card.

I'm sure the graphics are rendered with the dedicated card, as I'm getting AA and some of the visual goodies at about 60 fps, despite the fact that the EVE client shows only integrated Intel HD graphics detected.

Also, AFAIK unlike The AMD dual graphics card switching Nvidia doesn't actually switch, rather the dedicated card copies the rendered frame into the frame buffer of the integraded Intel chip that sends it to the monitor, which is why it may be detected as Intel graphics.
