Not Sure It's a Bug, But ...

from Elemental Forums

   I succumbed to the 50% off deal and bought Sorcerer King a couple of days ago.

   I haven't played much, so I don't have much feedback except the following:

   I play the game on my laptop which has both an integrated video card and a separate high-end card.

   I couldn't understand why the thing ran like molasses until it dawned on me that the game was using the integrated card.  I went through the hoops of telling it to use the fast one and it all sped right up.

   So the default is the wrong card.   Not sure if there is a way for Stardock to avoid this, but if so, please do !

   If not, perhaps a note to players with computers having both cards is in order ?

 

   Edit:  I forgot to mention it is an NVIDIA 780M card.

God feedback. I wonder if there's an API to force it to use the discrete.

yea, I had done the same and that thread takes you to a generic Nvidia page. So there is probably an API but not necessarily easy to find.
