Moffegrev Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi!I've been searching through the forums looking for solutions to my problem. Anyway, I bought The Witcher 2 a couple of days ago and according to Can You Run It and other such sites I should have been able to play it. It is instead extremely choppy and I fear that it is my graphics card that is failing since i opened up the task manager during playing and saw that the CPU usage was around 20% which should indicate that the problem doesn't lie with processors. I know that my laptop has two different graphics cards and I did try to muck around a bit with the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel, but nothing seemed to work. So please if anyone knows any way to fix this problem I would be forever grateful, thank you! The laptop I am running it on is the MSI FX600Specs: Intel Core i5 460M. 2.53GHz processor speed. 4GB memory. 500GB hard drive. nVIDIA GeForce G310M graphics card with 512MB memory. Microsoft Windows 7 Premium Thank you again and sorry if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsman5 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 This is just a guess, if you have 2 cards in your lappy then it might be worth trying to disable one, it might be that the game is having trouble trying to keep both in balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy5761 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 If you are sure that you have 2 video cards (1 Intel HD and 1 Nvidia) then you should have Optimus software installed as well which is an Intel/Nvidia joint venture . First thing you would want to do is go to Nvidia Driver page to make sure you have the latest notebook drivers . Then after installing the drivers try this 1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel2. Select: Advanced View3. Navigate to: Manage 3D Settings4. Select tab entitled: Program Settings5. Use the "Add" button to find and add the .exe file(s) for the game(s) you would like to use the Nvidia card for6. Select the option "High Performance NVIDIA Processor"7. Click on "Apply"8. Exit the NVIDIA Control Panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
