Low fps, lag

Hello.
This is a bug with the Nvidia Optimus software (Their forum is plenty of these reports).
We can although try to find a solution on the BeamNG side if Nvidia isn't going to fix their stuff.

Can you give this post a look please?

For the other guy, the 3rd possible solution worked, so probably it will work for you too.

But it's very important to know if the Intel Graphics Driver have something to do with this.
If you could check the 2nd solution and see if it works, it would be greatly appreciated and will help us on solving this problem

 

You tried with all the options in that post or just the Intel one?
And, just to make sure, this is how you enable your Nvidia Card..

You have to be more descriptive..

You set Nvidia where? In the Nvidia Control Panel like described in the wiki guide?
Alright, good.

Now, have you checked this?

"Can you try updating your Intel HD Graphics driver aswell? Some Google research suggest that may also work.
(Also, this appear to be a common problem with Nvidia Mobile cards, not only in BeamNG..)
And make sure you are not on 'Battery Saving' mode."

If that didn't work, can you try this aswell (POST #3)

Alright, thanks for the info.

This should work for you:

Uhm, sorry if I start to sound blatant, but clearing out point is essential.

You say you don't see Nvidia in the list.
Which list? Can you take a screenshot?

As I said before, this is a common problem from the Nvidia Optimus side, not BeamNG related, but we are maybe able to force the Nvidia Mobile cards to be used. More info soon.

 

Ok.

The ingame setting doesn't serve to switch graphics card. That is done from the Nvidia Control Panel. In no game you can set the graphics card within the game.

If you set up the Nvidia card for BeamNG like described on the wiki but that didn't work, and neither the solutions I linked didn't work, I'm out of ideas.

We are working on a solution to force the Nvidia Optimus drivers to use the dedicated graphics, and we are currently on the testing phase. In not too much time (if everything work as intended) we will start distributing the fix and see how it goes.

 

The update is live. Please make sure your game is updated and let us know if the fix works by posting here:
