Darylem Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 For the past several months, Skyrim se has been essentially unplayable for me. In the interim I have been playing only oblivion. I noticed early on that my nvidia gtx480m video card was no longer working, In face, it did not appear in device manager. I was only able to use the intel onboard video, which worked acceptably for oblivion. Then, just a couple of days ago, when checking the options in oblivion, I discovered that it was now using the nvidia card and it also now appeared also in device manager. Now I am playing SSE again and it seems to work better than it ever has. I know I attempted to update my video driver, but not sure it was successful. Something happened to allow my video card to work again, but I don't know what. I would appreciate any insights as to what might have happened. I have an alienware r17 laptop that is a couple of years old and I wonder if I had an overheating issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
