Xaike Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Helloo,When loading skyrim on my laptop, and go into options, the only graphics adapter that shows up is the Intel HD graphics, I have a better adapter that it doesn't find. If you look at the picture below you can see that I have two graphics adapters, and skyrim only sees one. http://i.imgur.com/7tVgp.png Even when I put the settings on low it's not very playable on the intel HD graphics. Also, when I play other games I can see the activity of the nvidia adapter on a desktop gadget, and when playing skyrim i see nothing, so i'm pretty sure it's a problem with skyrim. Also, also, I have just reinstalled all the graphics adapter drivers and they're all up to date :) Any thoughts on what the problem is, or what i can do to fix it? Thanks,Xaike.

maboru Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Are you plugged into AC? Many laptops default to integrated graphics when running on battery. In lieu of that there should be a setting in your BIOS to adjust that so Skyrim can see it. Even so the GT 520M may only give you medium/ low settings anyway. http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1254956-unofficial-will-my-pc-run-skyrim-thread-53-w-hardware-guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I couldn't find any settings in the BIOS either.I only really wanted it to be playable on my laptop, and with the intel graphics it's basically impossible :P I have my desktop to play it properly, I just wanted something to do at work tomorrow ^^ and i'm going away for the weekend, so was hoping I could play it on the laptop. Thanks for the help though, any other suggestions are welcome. :)Xaike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 It's probably too late in the day for me to describe another approach coherently but I found this which may help! Hope this works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this works for you. Was already on high performance mode, I reset the settings there as well, still no luck. :/Thanks for your help though :)Xaike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
