Hi all,
I can't get Eve to use my discrete graphics card, an Nvidia GTX 660M. Instead it uses the Intel Graphics 4000 adapter. I tried adding the Eve executables to the nvidia control panel but that didn't help. Does anyone know how to get it to use the nvidia adapter?

In some of my research online I saw some posts claiming that even though the Intel adapter was selected, Eve was still using the Nvidia adapter. This is definitely not the case here because when I launch the game through ISBoxer, it runs MUCH much faster and I am (oddly enough) able to select the nvidia adapter. So I can tell that it is normally using the Intel adapter because the game does suffer from slow downs in certain areas, areas that run fine when I launch the game through ISBoxer.

Thanks for any help.
