I have laptop with Intel HD Graphics and GeForce GT 650M and the game use only Intel HD Graphic. When i run game i try run with "nvidia high performance" but its not working.
I am using GPU-Z to control this and i see that Dragon Age use Intel HD Graphic my GeForce doesn't work.

VeganRevenge8, did you ever get the game working right on your 650M card? I am having fits, very laggy FPS.

However, I was still experiencing extremely low frame rates benchmarked at about only 7. In GPU-Z I noticed that my GT 650m GPU was grossly underclocked at only 135mhz while the game was running when the default frequency is 745mhz, and the Intel GPU was overheating. After some digging, I disabled Intel StepSpeed, which dynamically manages frequencies of various processors, in the system BIOS and now the GeForce GPU runs at the correct clock speed and Intel GPU no longer overheats. The game now benchmarks at 32 fps at medium setting, which is acceptable for GT 650m. This fix should work until the next driver or patch update (I hope), since it shouldn't be a permanent solution when overheating, battery life, and chip life are concerned.
Wow! That worked, mostly. Now getting 30FPS in most areas and 18 at the Crossroads (up from about 15 at best and 5-6 at crossroads). Occaisonally will get a weird hitch that lasts for under a second.
Cannot find Preferred Graphics Processor to "High-performance NVIDIA processor" in the NVIDIA Control panel.

Here is my Program settings with DA:I added already. Here they are but I still cannot find the High performance option.

Im finding Dragon age: Inquisition won't even let me use my GeForce GT 650m Graphics card. /: I tried making a shortcut and using the "Run with Graphics processor" and selected my High-performance NVIDIA processor, but i get an error message about i don't have privileges to select the graphics processor in this menu. ( I am the admin of my laptop) so i went on the control panel manage 3D settings added Dragon Age: inquisition and applied also global settings set to my GeForce GT 650m. But I always get the same message when i repeat the process of running with graphics processor. Also in the GeForce Experience Dragon age says my system does not meet the minimum requirements for optimal settings and its put the optimal settings to the lowest possible. Ive checked online and GeForce GT 650m should be able to work for Dragon age just fine but ive seen people everywhere having problems. I know this is a huge message repeating what people are saying here but i just wanted to go into detail in the hopes EA, Bioware and Nvidia do something about it so we can all play this gem of a game.
I had the same problem. Tried evertyhing suggested this morning at 4 am finally found the solution. I don't sure it's risky or not but if you turn off 'secure boot' thing it will work i guess. It's blocking the nvidia to take over the process.
Between nVIDIA's poor driver implementation, and the total removal of all GPU front end hardware from their video chips for mobile devices that have Intel processors, it remains a Geforce problem that a Radeon will not have. If you buy a laptop with the AMD video graphics, you still get a complete GPU, not merely the back half of one.
The Geforce Control Panel Settings should override everything else, other than failing to plug the laptop into a wall outlet, and if those settings fail, the you (those members still experiencing the problem) should be complaining to nVIDIA on their forums, and to their tech support.
