Yes EA_Darko , I am 100% sure the game is using the dedicated RTX 4050 GPU.
I have already done the following:
1. Set the MUX Switch to "Discrete" in HP Omen Gaming Hub.
2. Added the FC 26 executable to Windows Graphics Settings and forced it to "High Performance" (RTX 4050).
3. Selected the "High-performance NVIDIA processor" specifically for FC 26 in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
Even with the integrated GPU completely bypassed, the game still refuses to launch and gives the same crash. Since the GPU is correctly assigned, what else could be causing this block according to the DxDiag?
Thanks again!
