Answer

Try resetting 3D Properties in nVidia Control Panel.

If it still refuses to work try uninstalling the nVidia drivers, restarting and install the latest ones again. &nbsp;Tick "Clean Install" during installation (under advanced I believe).

seems the issue was not with nvidia drivers it was with the intel hd 4600 drivers the latest drivers dont run this game when i rolled back to previous version it started working for all the versions of nvidia drivers. now thats strange because i have set the game to use the nvide gpu so how intel drivers are affecting is beyond me

thnx

Answer

If you made rthe mistake of buying a laptop with a Geforce Optimus device, those are no longer a complete dedicated GPU, only the back half of one that requires the Intel chip working to make up for the now-removed front half.&nbsp;

I don't think mine is a Optimus device not sure, my laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad y510p

Answer

TTBOMK, nVIDIA ceased selling any complete mobile GPUs for laptops such as yours, about three years ago, maybe even longer.&nbsp;&nbsp; If yours is older than that, the Optimus types already existed, but stocks of unspayed GPUs were still available afterward.&nbsp;

According to that author (s), the class of hardware has been around before 2010.&nbsp;
