Victolee Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hello all,For a while now with my lenovo Y580 there has been an issue with many games not reading my GT 660M. When playing games like Divinity Original Sin and Medieval Engineers my integrated graphics card is the only card being read by the games. I've searched the internet for solutions, but no luck. I was wondering if anyone has figured out a solution to this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jafil Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It might be so it's just displaying the GPU incorrectly while still using the 660m- had that thing a while ago with a Radeon GPU. If the game peformance is alright then there's nothing to be worried about.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duning Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Have you tried to press the Graphics switch button? At least my laptop brings a key to switch between I/D graphics. Also, I have a friend that his computer automatically switches the graphics when they are demanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victolee Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 The graphics performance is very poor and yes I have tried to switch the GPU out of game, from the control panel and in game. The only card that is being registered is the internal graphics card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bet1joe Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've had this happen with my wife's optimus-enabled laptop. To fix the problem I needed to go into the global application settings in the NVidia control panel and enable/force dedicated GPU acceleration for all programs, effectively disabling optimus. Otherwise some games/programs just refused to switch to the discrete GPU. This was pretty annoying considering that optimus support was one of the reasons why we picked this particular laptop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skubi07 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 First of all try instal Lenovo Energy Managment and change powet state to Dynamic graphics in it. Then go to nvidia panel and set High Performance for application you want. Remember that the exe you open can be not this one runing as app you see. For example you can have launcher.exe and game.exe, so set high performance in nv control panel for game.exe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup3r b0wlz Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Try the nvidia control panel and try the power options advanced options menu. I seem to remember something about integrated vs dedicated graphics in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azibiz Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Check out Nvida Control panel as sup3er_b0wlz said, there you can select any program and set it for it to use your graphics card instead of the integrated one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
