Title: I cant get AH to see my onboard graphics card
Post by: dirtdart on January 20, 2018, 09:11:22 AM: Help!! Thanks...lol

I have a HP laptop with an NVDIA 4GB card. The NVDIA launcher does not detect AH, AH does not detect my card.

Apparently it detects World of Tanks and Minecraft...

If you're talking about Nvidia Control Panel not having AH3 in the list of programs, you can manually add the game.
Go to Nvidia Control Panel/Manage 3D Settings/Program Settings/Add. Click Add, then go to where AH3 is installed and click on the games executable.

Post by: dirtdart on January 20, 2018, 01:17:07 PM: Nope. The graphics panel does not see aces high in the aces high folder and aces high does not see the graphics card...bah

Post by: Bizman on January 20, 2018, 02:10:37 PM: Now that sounds funny. And you were using the Nvidia Control Panel instead of some other gaming tool they provide?

Post by: 1stpar3 on January 20, 2018, 02:39:57 PM: still need to know, Control panel or GForce Experience. AH isnt an optimized game and wont show under Games List in GFE

Right click on the desktop and choose, "NVIDIA control panel" after that opens , in the left column click on "Manage 3D settings", then click the "Programs settings" tab in the right column. Give it a minute to populate the drop downs. Use the drop down box to find the AH in the list. If it is NOT in the list click the "ADD" button and browse to the AH exe file.

Have you checked in your Device Manager/Display Adapters to see if your card Nvidia card is actually being detected?

Ok. The Gforce Experience wont show AH, as AH is not an Nvidia Optimized Game. The Nvidia Control Panel as other has suggested may need to be pointed towards AH's exe file. Post an DXDIAG so these guys can see what you have available,will help out also

If right click on Desktop doesn't show the link to Nvidia Control Panel, it's located in the Windows Control Panel.

Do not worry about those numbers. When you have more than one video card the Windows primary card is where those come from. They are just informational.
