Summarize your bug I have a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3, The game refuses to use the dedicated RTX 3050 card in my laptop and only wants to use the integrated Radeon graphics. I've tried every option to get the game to force use the NVIDIA (Windows Graphics, NVIDIA control panel, etc) but the game refuses. I've looked online and I think it may be an issue specific to this brand and model but I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and was able to fix it.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Run the game on the same laptop and see that it uses integrated graphics rather than the NVIDIA graphics.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game does not play well at all, low frame rate, high latency. The integrated GPU just can't handle it and I have no way to make it use the more powerful one.
What should be happening instead? Using the NVIDIA GPU
I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it. I could play on my desktop but I find myself not at home trying to play games.
