Titanfall refuses to use Nvidia card?
Hey! I was wondering if anyone found a solution for this: I loaded Titanfall to find that I was getting very low FPS (7 fps) and severe screen tearing, making the game unplayable on the lowest setti...

Wow, i've been attempting to fix this problem since my friend bought me Titanfall yesterday, spent about 6 hours on this and finally found this thread. For a long time I thought it was a problem with the dedicated card, but when I literally forced the system to update to the new Intel Iris beta drivers (because for some reason even though my system is compatible it kept saying it wasn't) it finally got rid of the graphic glitches. Which is when I realised Titanfall isn't using the Nvidia dedicated card whatsoever.
I'm running an i5-3210 Acer V3-571G with a 630M GT. Still holds up well with modern games like BF4. Titanfall is the only game I'm playing right now that isn't detecting the card. I have to say I'm fairly sick of this bullsh*t because I've had it before with newly released games and everytime I mess around with every single possible solution and end up just having to wait until someone fixes it. The annoying thing is that in most places everyone keeps mixing up the graphic glitch issues of people running laptops with only the Intel integrated cards (now that's crazy desperation to play Titanfall!) with this real issue of the dedicated card not being detected.
tl:dr
Hey. Respawn. Titanfall isn't detecting my Nvidia dedicated card on my laptop. I've tried every solution. No really, I have. We're all waiting for the fix now, thanks.
Update: Thread on Reddit of people discussing the issue: http://www.reddit.com/r/titanfall/comments/207bmy/titanfall_not_using_nvidia_card/
No, fatbuds, whether the Geforce ever makes the correct switch action or not, you won't be playing the game as it was designed. You do not have a game-quality GPU, The bare minimum is a DESKTOP version of the GT 640, and you have on;y a 630, plus, it's the down-clocked laptop version.

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GT-8800-vs-GeForce-GT-630Newness, as always, is MEANINGLESS = only Performance is relative, and a GT 630 simply has none by comparison. It fails on Memory Bandwith, on Memory Bus size. Memory Speed, on numbers of Rendering Processors, on numbers of Shader Units, on numbers of Texture Units, on measured Pixel Rates, on measured Textures rates.
If I can join a match and run the game on low settings with it using the integrated card at a just-barely playable fps then I refuse to accept your notion that the 630 won't even give it a good go. Thanks for the effort though.
Update: Hold on, where are you getting your information from? Official Titanfall minimum requirements says you need an Nvidia GeForce 8800GT, a desktop graphics card that was released 5 years before my 630GT. Who are you and which blind monkeys have been giving you positive points? Please refrain from replying to this thread until you have something useful to say.
Final update before I give up and go play Carmageddon: Reincarnation: According to that reddit thread and some other peeps, it might not be a problem with Respawn, it could actually be a problem with good old EA and Origin's forcing of games into using integrated cards due to their lack of seperate 3D profiles for each game (like Steam has). This isn't early days for Origin anymore, if this is the problem it really needs sorted. I'm not angry anyway, plenty of games to play while I wait. I'm just upset that in this age of gaming we still have full games released with glaring issues like this that take way too long to be noticed and fixed. Peace.
Very well said FATBUDS. I am having the same issue. What really bothers me is that I can play Battlefield 4 with my GTX670M but Tittanfall will not recognize this card and is forcing me to use my "integrated card". The only response I have gotten is "Blame Nvidia". Guess I will just stick to Steam for games untill EA figures this out.
