How can I force the game to use a preferred GPU?

My specs are below.  I have gone into the task manager to see what GPU the game is using, and it is defaulting to the Intel GPU, instead of the Nvidia GPU. Is there a configuration file that I can c...

i am running an MSI GF75 Thin 10SCSXR laptop.

I have my power option set to "Ultimate Performance".

I still see it flip flopping between the two GPU's, but setting the preferred card in Windows solved my Augusta issue (crashing after completing 6th hole).

Hi @Mootill2, Have you tried with Nvidia software (Control panel, Geforce Experience, or the new Nvidia app) to set the game to run with your 1650?

    @EA_Illium here ya go

    FWIW, I don't experience the crashing every time like I did.  It's probably 1 out of 4 times now.  Much less than it was before.

    Hi @Mootill2, to confirm if you check for Driver updates for the 1660TI does it show if you have any?

    The DXdiag show the driver date as 02/29/2024 but I believe they had one release on April 2nd.

    It did show an updated driver which I was unaware of since I don't have GeForce Experience running in the background.

    I installed the update, and will post back here if I have any further crashing issues with Augusta.

    Hi @Mootill2, Wanted to check how the game has been performing?

    Have not had a chance to get back to Augusta to see if it still crashes.

    Soon as I can get to play a few rounds, I'll let you know if the crashing is persisting.
