I have an intergrated Intel GPU and an Nvidia 555m. Not sure what has happened, but ingame will only show the use of the Intel GPU. I've set all the settings to use the Nvidia, but to no avail. New drivers did not help either.

The Nvidia gpu activity does show that its running eve, the issue seems to be Eve itself is not seeing it.

Is this a known issue, and which program is correct? I don't really want to be using the Intel GPU, it sucks.

Hi,

Has this only recently changed? my laptop does the same, but there's a clear difference in performance between the Intel GPU and my nVidia 765m, if I disable the 765m my frame rate drops dramatically compared to when its activated. I would suggest prioritizing the EVE.exe in the Nvidia control panel to force it to use your Nvidia card and see if that changes it.

I also think that this forum thread might hold the answers you're looking for.
