Intel and RTX 3070 graphics problem

[Alive]

Hello! I have a problem because I bought a new computer and the game uses an INTEL GPU instead of an RTX 3070 card. If I fire up the game in medium settings, the game has about 20 fps, and the CPU consumption reaches 100% Intel grapic, and the graphics card is loaded in 3%. How to fix it?

There is a way to force the computer to use the dedicated card for a given application. I don't have a dual setup, so I can't tell you how, but googling "make game use dedicated graphics" instantly returns thousands of guides for me.

Hello!
This is just for anyone having trouble getting the game to detect your graphics card:

When I booted up the game it detected the wrong card, and even when I went to the nvidia control panel, selecting the correct card didn't do anything. It turns out that I had to go through the windows graphics settings, locate Vintagestory.exe and set the GPU from there (type graphics settings in the search bar [I had to do this for another as well so if you run into the problem down the line with something else, try it out]).

Hope that helps anyone having the same problem!
(about to try the game for the first time, wish me luck!)

For some reason, when I pull up graphic settings, only like 5 programs show up, and Vintage Story is not one of them. Anywhere else I can go to set my main GPU as the main video encoder?

 

Edit: ok, had to manually add it to the graphics settings list. That solved it!
