    Hello Everyone,

    View attachment 10992

    I'm here because Rfactor 2 seem to not detect dedicaced graphics card .
    Its work with Nvidia Optimus technology (for example GT555m) but no
    for Enduro system...
    My configuration are :

    Intel I7 3680 with intel 4000 Card
    8bg ram
    AMD 8870m
    Rfactor (1 & 2) reconize only the Intel...
    Its bad because the intel is a poor card.
    I think it will be the same with all other enduro cards.
    I'mprecising its à notebook , so i cannot unable the Intel card, i have pushed the Rfactor 2 profile on Amd switchable device on "high performance"too.

    Cheers.

    Can you disable the intel 4000 onboard gpu?
    Does the Radeon not show up in the VIDEO: drop down list in the rF2 Video Setup window?

    I would try to disable the Intel one, including removing any drivers for it too.

    If you can't set the gfx card you want as the primary gfx card in Windows, it's not going to work in rF2 either. Why can't you access the BIOS?

    If the AMD drivers let you select which graphics card to use for an application, and you can see both there, you may need to make sure all of rF2's .exe files are included. This can be an issue with nVidia, anyway, so maybe it's the same with AMD.

    After a bit of googling it sounds like the 'High Performance' option should work, but you will need to set all the rF2 .exe files to use high performance. Hopefully. :)

    Is the laptop yours? Did you purchase second hand with it locked?

    BIOS is never locked unless someone locks it. Only thing I can think of is to google your laptop and see if there's a way to reset it. A jumper or something you can set to clear it....

    Oh... That sucks. I was even able to do do it on a MacBook Pro I think a while back.

    After you've set the performance, you are running the rf2 HFCs config again, right? And you set the gfx config to run performance too?

    I set all executable from RF2 yes,, dedicaced, rfactor2.exe, the launcher, the rfconfig.exe.
    But before i had I5 with GT555M and HD3000 card the problem was same , the rfconfig seen the intel card, not the GF555M , the ony difference was on the game when going to graphical section the Nvidia was detected, here not.

    I found how to fix the problem !
    Now when on the game , he doesn't show the AMD card, but he is using it, i got 60fps on the game in full details !
    In fact i found a tread about AMD drivers switcheable graphics who was modified , i tried it and now its working.
    I don't know if i can show the link : but this is it : http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...ty-powerxpress-enduro-fix-drivers-13-10b.html
    The drivers is for x64(win8&Win7) i think because i tried it and i'm using x64 windows 7.
    ;)
