iSkillzorz 5 Posted March 24, 2013 Before anyone may ask this, yes my drivers are updated. I currently have a Nvidia GT 540m gpu on my asus n53s, running an i5 2430m @2.4 Ghz turbo booster to 3.0 Ghz. Anyway, in order to make arma 2/ arma 2 OA i must go into the nvdia control panel and select the program to be used by my gpu, and not my integrated intel hd 3000. I currently get around 23 fps on this gpu in dayz, although it handles much other games on high, and even css maxed out at minimum 30 fps (yes, I have also tried every single thing you could possibly imagine to boost my performance, but no luck. This includes ramdisk, settings values to 1, disabling post process, etc. It doesn't work). Anyway, I am not convinced dayz is using at all. I made it use my integrated chip and it gets the same exact performance as my dedicated gpu. The fps is the same, the image looks the same, the responsiveness is the same. So, how can I 100% be sure that dayz is definitely using my nvidia gpu. Did I do everything right, or am I just choosing the wrong .exe for arma 2. Maybe both cards have the same exact perofrmance? I don't know, I'd be very thankful if someone could help me out.Thanks,iSkillzorz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeyguy 107 Posted March 24, 2013 I dont think there is a way to make DayZ ONLY run off the GPU because ARMA mainly runs off on the CPU. Try Googling it and see what you can come up with but I really dont think there is a way. Sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just want to make 100% sure that when a gpu is used it is my dedicated one, which I have googled and still have yet to figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ActionManZlt 160 Posted March 24, 2013 In these dual-GPU laptops, it's usually up to the driver as to which GPU is being used. Make sure you've got the charger cable plugged in, have it set to 'high performance' power usage mode, and play around with your nVidia drivers... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My laptop has an AMD card though, Nvidia will probably be slightly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
