@SplashSpIash Moving this to tech

Do you have another card that the game is using or why do you think it's not using that card ? Cause of the low FPS ?

Good Luck

Please try the steps I have posted on this previously, they should help ensure your GPU is used when playing:

Let us know if that is not the case, thanks.

@SplashSpIash There's a file called config.log in your doc folder. What does that say which card is used ?

This part.

 

This means the game is using your card just fine.

 

If you have lag issues, it has another reason.

 

Could you describe the exact symptoms you're seeing other then GPU usage ?
