NFS Most Wanted 2012 default graphic card choise

[VIONICK08]

There is integrated and discrete graphic card on my laptop. The game always runs on integrated Intel card. Even when I choose Nvidia card on default.

To try to specify your nvidia GPU to be used when you play, try the following.

1. Open the nvidia Control Panel
2. Click Manage 3D settings
3. Click the Program Settings tab
4. Click the Add button
5. Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Most Wanted\NFS13.exe
6. Select NFS13.exe and then Open
7. Customise individual settings if you like
8. Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

Please try this and let us know if you are good to go. Thanks.

@EA_Barry NFS MW 12 is launching & working fine, but graphics rendering is bad since it is using the default Intel graphics card rather than the Nvidia graphics card. But when I play NFS heat it is switching to Nvidia graphics.



System Conf: Windows 10, i7-7700HQ @ 2.80GHz, 16GB RAM , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 4GB

Nvidia driver version: Tried both 451.67 & 452.06 (GeForce Game Ready Driver)



Solutions tried but didn't work

Reinstalled origin, Checked Participate in origin technical previews
Reinstalled Nvidia graphics driver
Disable intel display driver in device management
Tried to run the program with administrator privileges
Launched the game from the game folder (not with the shortcut.)
Tried the compatibility troubleshooter
Allowed the Game Client and Origin to communicate through your firewall and are present to your security program’s “safe” or “allowed” list.
Tried Repair and/or re-install the game
Scanned PC for Malware
Tried the windowed/Fullscreen mode
In Nvidia control panel
Manage 3D settings - In Global settings preferred graphics processor selected as "High-performance NVIDIA processor"
Manage 3D settings - In Program settings, for nfs13.exe preferred graphics processor selected as "High-performance NVIDIA processor"
In windows graphics settings - Added nfs13.exe & set graphics preference to Nvidia
Since NFS heat is automatically switching to Nvidia graphics, Probably there is no problem with the graphics card, Windows version, or any other component in the PC.



I am stuck with this problem & I want that classic game back. Please! help me
