The problem persists. I'm sure it's using the NVidia card/gpu because in addition to adding it to those programs, I have an option when right clicking to specficially use it over the Intel card. 

 

I updated the drivers for the Intel card as well and it's still not working.

@NocturnesRequiem Thanks for doing all that, I have passed your info on.

 

I understand that you are you able to use the right click to force it, I am just still not convinced that the programs actually do obey.

 

The only other thing that I can think off at the moment would be disabling the Intel HD chip altogether and hence forcing both OS and game to naturally use the Nvidia card. But this is advanced stuff, that we cannot recommend to everyone, it would just be up for testing if you are comfortable with playing around with it more (or have a friend that could assist you).

@rumbutter No, this is just for Nvidia. 

 

For AMD, check this link.

I disabled it but at that point the game presents a new error that says my graphics card doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game. 

 

Which it (allegedly) totally does.
