I have an ASUS n53sn-sz129v, which has an nVidia GT550m graphics card as well as the Intel HD 3000 on board graphics chip.
My problem is that when I start some games (GTA V and CoD: Advanced Warfare), the PC insists on using the weaker Intel chip, regardless of which card is actually active at the moment. So far, this has happened on GTA V and CoD: Advanced Warfare. I think it might be an issue with 64 bit games.
The GPU drivers are up to date and I also tried to reinstall them but it didn't help.
- I tried changing all settings to high performance
- I am right-clicking on the shortcut for the game and select the nvidia card
- My laptop is plugged in
Some games work fine with the nVidia card; I think it might be an issue with 64 bit games.
