My computer uses Nvidia Optimus tech and has 2 video adapters:
- Intel HD Graphics 4000
- Nvidia GTX 670M 3GB
I tried setting Sims 3 to use the Nvidia adapter in the Nvidia Control Panel, but game still seems slow. I thought I would be able to run game fine with the Nvidia adapter... Anything I can do?
I don't see the GTX 670 in the .sgr file which means the game may not be recognizing the card properly. Here is a link - unknown graphics card The GTX 670 should run the game just fine.
I did what guide said. Edited the SGR files, deleted options.ini and devicelog file in my documents folder, loaded game. Graphics options were still set to low and the new devicelog file lists my Intel HD Graphics 4000 adapter instead of my Nvidia GTX 670M one (which I want). Anything I can do?
restore the files and post the vendor id and the device id.
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1213&SUBSYS_FB121179&REV_A1
That line needs to be added to graphiccards.sgr file. This should then be picked up as a 660m card which should be very close to your card.
Ok, thanks. Do I also ned to edit the "GraphicsRules" as well, or just the "GraphicsCards" file?
I edited that file, game still has default graphics settings to low...
