LordLannon Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Acer Aspire 5750g specs:GeForce GT540M,Core i7-2670QM,6GB RAM. Now, I've played this game a lot without almost any sign of lag on high-medium. The first time I played Skyrim, I had this problem. Although I managed to fix it. Until now. Skyrim detects "Intel HD Graphics Family" as my default graphics card. I know how to fix it, last time I just went into Nvidia Controlpanel and changed it so that skyrim uses GT540M. But when I try to do that now, it still detects that crappy "Intel HD Graphics Family" as my default one. I've tried reinstalling both my drivers and skyrim. I've also rebooted after every time. Still does not work. Although skyrim detects GT540M the first time I play it after reinstalling. The next time I try to run it, it will detect that intel thing again. Thanks..

agno Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 plug your lappy into the wall and check your windows power management settings,it could be windows is maintaining a low clock rate in order to conserve power,double check to make sure its running at full throttle. (I dont know if lappy's have power settings in the bios, if they do, make surethats maxed too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agno Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 is it possible that there are old default drivers competing with newer drivers and sometimes swapping back and forth? like maybe the newest drivers got rolledback or replaced by the older drivers. I'm sorta reaching here. You have a badass vid card as far as lappies go.... this has got to be a softwareissue... drivers or something. did a quick check around on your system, ppl at toms suggest that the onboard video is possiblytakeing over for the expansion video... I dont know how to check and pick which vid to use.... maybe check windows system display, or your open your grafix software and make sure the correct device is defaulted. the GeForce GT540M, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/69993-35-acer-aspire-5750g-issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've uninstalled both, and rebooted. I'll try installing them again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
