Windows 11 - Chief using dedicated graphics card

Recommended Posts

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?

Should be able to designate this in geforce experience. Might be worth setting up a profile for chief in GeForce. You could also do this through display settings.

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?

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.

Yep, I've put Chief in there and set it to use the "High Performance" but there isn't any difference.  Are you using Windows 11?

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.

You might want to check with Perry.  I know he's using Windows 11 and an RTX3000 series.  Not sure about the Laptop.

No I'm not. 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?
