BF4 forcing itself to run on integrated graphics chip (Laptop)

I had terrible FPS in bf4 so i opened GPU-Z and saw that my integrated graphics card (INTEL HD GRAPHICS 4000) was at full load and my GeForce GT 650M was still on low temperature and with no GPU load.

So my question is: How do i force BF4 to use my 650m instead of the integrated graphics  (I have latest nvidia drivers + I tried forcing the game to run with the Nvidia card via nvidia control panel)

what can i do?

    IVE FOUND A WORKAROUND TO MAKE IT WORK ON YOUR GRAPHICS CARD!

    connect your laptop to your tv via HDMI, for me, the hdmi output is from the nvida card, so all display automatically goes trough there!!! can finally play well!!!

    You need to go in to your BIOS, change the GPU to FIXED mode, that will force the computer to start with the "real" GPU. You can always change to intel in the graphics properties in windows.

    Hi arout182,

    Let's see if we can get this worked out for you. Based on the chip you are using, it appears you are running this on a laptop, correct? Do you by chance have any software installed that utilitizes both the integrated chip and the dedicated chip, such as Lucid Virtu MVP?

    Just a thought, maybe there's an issue with the NVIDIA Control Panel not recognizing the game correctly?

    What if you change your global settings to use the GeForce card? ( http://i.stack.imgur.com/OOfnr.png )

    Good thinking, wallrik, that's a great first place to look.

    Now I don't have an Nvidia graphics card or a laptop, so take this as suggestions as what to look into. Anyways, I hope you have already looked inside the Nvidia control panel? There's new Nvidia drivers out today, so you might want to check them out as well. Also, if all else fails, you might be able to go into your BIOS and turn off the HD4000 all together, it's not pretty but at least you might be able to play until you fix the issue.
