Re: Dead Space Remake only running on Integrated Graphics

I had this problem also, but I found a solution.
From what I understand, it seems that when you're using rtx 3050 ti and you allocate 4gb ram for your integrated gpu, the game picked the integrated gpu because it has "more vram" than the rtx 3050 ti (VRAM of rtx 3050 ti isn't intepreted as exactly 4gb, but 3.9gb). Therefore a solution to this is to go to your laptop bios, and change the allocated ram for integrated gpu to be less than 4gb. 
In my case, I allocate 2GB VRAM for my integrated gpu, therefore the game will pick the rtx 3050 ti as it has more vram than integrated gpu.
Hope this helps!

    I saw a few people mention this, so I may try it out, but tbh I just deleted the games because I don't want to have to mess around with things more. It's a pain and not worth the trouble when I can just play on my Desktop. But if I do this and find success with it, I'll come back and let everyone know. Thanks for the tip.

    Hi @ghhgafzan To confirm did this resolve the issue so far for you?

    I've been trying to get this to happen on my personal laptop that has an AMD CPU and 3070 GPU but it seems to be working correctly.

    I tried and indeed it works 

    you need to go to the computer bios an change the ram intended to work for your integrated graphic below of what your dedicated card has 

    for example if your NVIDIA card has 4 gb of ram you need to Change the integrated card gb below It I switch 2gb 

    because the game select the card to use based on which one has more video ram. 

    which it should not be, is even ignoring windows settings.
    anyway

    that fix it

    but it’s crappy from to EA code the game like that  

    not everyone knows or is willing to mess with the bios

    it looks like this is something EA needs to fix

    The only way to fix this is to change the VRAM in BIOS. It's an error specific to EA games and they never fix it. Check the FIFA forums and you'll see the same issue reported.
