Hello,

I've reactivated account after quite a long while... and straight away I've encountered a problem:
I'm playing on MSI laptop that has two graphic cards, one is Intel 4600 and other one is GTX 765M.

Thing is that in settings menu only the Intel graphics is listed, no sign of the real graphics card (765M).

Any ideas how to fix it? Because I have none... Tried googling a bit but failed to find anything. :(

How did you determine that it indeed was the intel gpu, that was running?
I have the same issue, but I have an icon in my taskbar, that tells me which programs are using nvidias optimus.

And it tells me that EVE is running on my nvidia gpu.


You should verify that first.

I don't know how to tell whenever it's used or not. This optimus software claims nvidia GPU is being used after game was running for like few minutes, however I can't see any improve in FPS, so don't know how to check it exactly and be sure for 100%.
