But in the case of Minecraft, no matter what I do, it just won't use the GPU. I have the same problem with the Dolphin emulator, actually. So here's what I've tried already: • I know Minecraft is a Java process and that a definition for javaw.exe has to be added to the NVIDIA Control Panel.

I've done that, even opening Task Manager and having it open the active Java process location in Windows Explorer so I could be absolutely positive I got the right one. • I've also added a definition for the Minecraft Launcher, minecraft.exe. • I downloaded MSI Afterburner to check for GPU activity, just in case it was actually running. Definitely no GPU activity. • Minecraft's debug screen now has a feature that shows which processor it's using. It's definitely still using the Intel HD 4000. • I also downloaded NVIDIA Inspector, which I believe allows you to create custom settings and definitions directly within the driver, but I don't know enough about it to feel comfortable using it.

Please, if anyone has any idea how to get around this, I'd be incredibly thankful. After looking around online, it seems that many people have this issue, and the suggestion every time is to just use NVIDIA Control Panel. It apparently works for some, but not for all. And it's definitely not working for me. EDIT: Recently I noticed that minecraft uses it's own java jvm. Adding this one in nvidia control panel seems to work. Old post: I have similar problem.

I have dell XPS 15 and no way to force usage of specific card other than nvidia control panel (and it doesn't seem to work anymore, made sure that minecraft uses specific jvm and made it's binaries use nvidia card. I didn't noticed it before because I play almost only when my laptop is using external monitor connected via hdmi. If I understand correctly how my laptop works nvidia handles hdmi kinda forcing minecraft to use correct card when monitor is plugged. So that's one solution. Using monitor (if you have laptop similar to mine). Other solution I found is. Using linux (in my case ubuntu).

I was using my laptop for work before (since I prefer working on linux) and I have 2 systems installed. You need Bumblebee installed and you can then force minecraft to use correct graphic card by running launcher with 'optirun' command. I really don't want to go to all the trouble of trying to disable the integrated card in BIOS, so it's the only thing I haven't tried. I play Minecraft in waves, and right now I'm not interested enough to keep fooling with it. How To Mine Cryptonex CNX On Android. I think I remember seeing a post recently about Mojang testing a new launcher or something, and making a move to integrate their own version of Java into the game files so that people don't have to keep fiddling with keeping their Java updated separately, and I'm wondering if that may finally allow the NVIDIA management software to treat the game as its own.exe instead of a Java process. Please PLEASE respond back to me if you ever end up figuring it out. If you disable VBO it might work.

I had originally fixed this issue by going to the NVIDIA control panel and making minecraft run from the video card, but today it force updated a new launcher, & now I'm back at square one. Disabling VBO under the graphics settings in minecraft might be a temporary solution though, let me know if it works for you. EDIT: I am runnning Windows 8 with Intel integrated graphics and a video card.

I have Java 32 bit & 64 bit installed on my 64 bit system. Try this, I just did, and everything works for me, even with VBO's on.

Go to the NVIDIA control panel, add the program in the location: C: Program Files (x86) Minecraft runtime jre-x64 1.8.0_25 bin javaw. It worked for me, with the new launcher. Should work for you too.

When I check the game with F3, it now shows my video card being used instead of intel integrated graphics.

Originally posted by:I haven't done that, but I can give it a try tomorrow! In general games (especially older ones) have difficulty picking the proper graphics card for dual card laptops which is why i said its a really bad idea. In pratice they conflict with each other, have priority issues such as what your expierencing, and in general its just wasted space. Better to have one 'Great' graphics card than one 'Good' one and an 'Ok' one that you never really want to use except in power saving mode. Which dosent really prolong a batter charge given how cheaply made laptop batters are thesedays. But thats a rant all on its own so ill spare you the details and summrise it saying there is no standard set for the battery industry. Anyone can claim their battery has a 'quick charge' or 'Long life' even though it could take 24 hours to charge and run out of juice in 5 minutes.

Unfortunately deactivating the integrated graphics didn't work either. Now the performance is horrible and the only card it can find is 'Microsoft Basic Display Driver'. Guess I'll have to play Oblivion instead, or Morrowind with the view distance turned down a bit.

I'm studying at the moment and I've not been able to bring my desktop, so this is all I've got to play on at the moment. Originally posted by:Unfortunately deactivating the integrated graphics didn't work either. - Never, ever do that again. Your integrated card is your primary card.

As far as I know, it controls the monitor output and everything nVidia card does, passes through it. That's why everything is more sluggish with it turned off. I suggest you reactivate it or install its driver again. - You cannot select graphics card from a game's (and I mean any game's) setup/launcher etc. (You could in the 90s but not anymore.) Even if you can, it has no effect. The only way to do it is through nVidia Control Panel as suggested.

Provided there are no problems with your hardware or software, the game doesn't have any other choice but to run with the GPU you designate. This is handled by OS and drivers. If you're sure it doesn't work, restarting may help.

You can see if the game uses nVidia or not via its tray icon. When the dedicated GPU is in use, nVidia tray icon changes color. - You don't see much performance change because you're probably using MGSO, which contains MGE XE. This program provides fancy modern graphical FX but works as an emulation, which means it's not very efficient. Try to find a balance between visual fidelity and performance. Hint: Distant lands is a performance hog. Originally posted by:Unfortunately deactivating the integrated graphics didn't work either.

As far as I'm concerned, the only bad idea here is to disable the integrated GPU. I already reactivated the integrated graphics, so that's fine.

I already tried setting the GPU in the Nvidia Control Panel as described above, but there is no effect. According to GPU-Z the game is still using the integrated graphics card, as that's the only card showing GPU load. I've not installed any mods (such as MGSO) either. The game is completely vanilla.

I suspect when you clicked 'add', nVidia control panel chose morrowind's launcher instead of game's executable file. Try this: - Go to 'steam steamapps common morrowind' folder.

Or right click on Morrowind in your library, choose properties, go to 'local files' tab and click on 'browse local files'. - Right click on morrowind.exe.

- You should see a 'change default graphics processor' (or something like that) option. - nVidia control panel will open with settings for morrowind.exe. Change it to nVidia processor. This is how I did it right now.

This is how I did it right now. Followed your instructions to the letter but there is still no difference unfortunately. The game is still using the integrated graphics card.

Appreciated but Develoeprs and designers make alot of bad decisions (just look at hyperthreading). IT dosent take design knowledge to realise that the only benifit of having a dual card setup on a laptop is the potential to save power on the weaker graphics processor which could be better achived by having a dedicated one that can downclock itself when processing power is not nessisary.

Its completely wasted space that coudl be used on better hardware or heat management. Not to mention the conflicts it frequently produces such as whats happening now. As for the problem here, I know there was a thread that had the exact same problem around here before. It was resolved eventually but all i remeber was that the solution was rather simple. I just cant remeber exactly what nor can I find the thread. Originally posted by:type nvidia into your search to find the program 'Nvidia Control Panel.' Under manage 3d settings, it might take a second to load (or you might have to click the add button), but look for 'Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind' in the first dropdown box under program settings.

Box 2 says 'Select the Preffered graphics processor for this program,' click the dropdown and select the graphics card you want to use. For my laptop the two options are 'High-performance NVIDIA processor' and 'Integrated Graphics' I use an AMD Radeon R9 M375X and there is no Catalyst Control center and I need help!
