johnny Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 So i bought a new laptop for presenting models to clients out of office - it has a RTX 3080 dedicated video card/chip. When I got the laptop it had Windows 10 installed - i operated for a bit in that and everything worked fine. I then upgraded to Window 11. Since that time, and even though i updated all my drivers for the video card, Chief (and only Chief) doesn't seem to be using the dedicated video card....rather the integrated graphics chip in the system. Anyone else having a similar issue - or know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also do this through display settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Did you try Windows Graphic settings? I think starting with Win 10 you need it set there, at least that's what I've been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've made sure that all the settings for this is correct, and even inside Chief it shows the 3080 being used. However, I know its not being used. Even in the most basic Standard mode is painfully slow. Are you using Windows 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could of course prove this by using the performance tab in your task management window. If Chief says it's using the card I'd say the issue lies elsewhere.

DRAWZILLA Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I have been using windows 11 on my desktop for a few months now and not seeing any problems with Chief so far. As for a laptop, I don't use one, screen is just too small for these tired eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The card being used needs to be set in the NVidia Control Panel or maybe the GE Force Experience. You can set it to use the dedicated (or integrated) on a per-program basis or a global basis. (oops. Just saw Rene had already posted this.)

Ran acrss something this AM about VBS causing issues if enabled. Search MSInfo32, look at the bottom for Virtualization-Based Security, if enabled then disable. Maybe?
