Xdemoodez Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hello there. I'm new to this FlightSim forum, so dont be surprised i make mistakes. Anyway the problem is i cant change my GPU form Intel®HD Graphics 4000 to my nvidia GPU. I have changed all .exe files in the FSX directory. The game shows only the integrated GPU: http://prntscr.com/5dutcf Game is verry laggy without my GPU. Any help please. Thank you. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Are you running Acceleration or FSX with SP1 and SP2? Make sure DX10 is unchecked in your settings. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 im not using any Service Packs No service packs.....No Acceleration also?? If not, you may need Sp1 and Sp2 installed before your other GPU will show as a choice. DX10 preview unchecked? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

DX10 preview unchecked? If he doesn't have SP2 installed, there won't be a DX10 option available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 If he doesn't have SP2 installed, there won't be a DX10 option available. Thanks, loki! Good info to file away in my Infinitely Indexed Memory Bank. Now if we can just get him away from his Colin kapernack answers and get some info, maybe we can help!

JSkorna Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 You need to disable the integrated graphics chip in your BIOS. Then properly update your FSX with SP1 and SP2. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdemoodez Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Installed SP1 and SP2 still can't change GPU's, even if i have changed all FSX's in my nvidia control panel to High-Perfomance Nvidia GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdemoodez Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 ok I installed SP1 and SP2 but i still can't change the GPU Any other ways to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Can you get into the BIOS when you boot the computer? That's where you have to disable the Intel graphics. What kind of computer is it? Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Installing FSX and service packs has nothing to do with installing the new GPO- that's an internal Windows/BIOS issue. Provide system specs and how and what you have tried. A one sentence answer will not do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Make sure the monitor is connected to the connector on the back of the videocard. Make sure no cables are connected to the onboard connectors. It should then switch to using the videocard automatically. At the bottom of this page is an image of the back of a computer. The connectors at the top are the onboard connectors (attached to the motherboard). The three connectors at the bottom (blue, black, white) are the three connectors of the videocard. http://www.bcot1.com/turningon.html Always switch off the monitor, switch off the computer and disconnect the computer power cord before disconnecting or connecting monitor cables. If you don't a monitor can get damaged. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
