NVIDIA Optimus Fix for Skyrim

[Mufasuhh]

Thank you so much worked perfectly! That was so annoying up until i found this video. I was getting >10fps with gtx 580m Now over 50 with everything maxed!!!

[GiveMeReasonToLive]

Thank you really much :) You made my day, it really worked and everything is fine now, thanks again !

[CptnPinguin]

It's not working for me, it's still showing the intel HD option for me :/

[JaskenFtw]

@CptnPinguin You tried my other video dude? (:

Can't link it here, but it's on my channel!

[CptnPinguin]

@JaskenFtw Tried it out but when I search in Skyrimprefs I can't find any graphicscard to change :/

[JaskenFtw]

@CptnPinguin Ok, when in the Skyrimprefs document, the line looks something like:

* sD3DDevice="NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M " * (this is mine as example)

Before the change, if you are still running on integrated graphics then it would say "intel HD" or something similar. Try searching for "sD3DDevice" with the Ctrl+F function when in the document and see what comes up?

[CptnPinguin]

@JaskenFtw For some reason it doesn't find anything when I search for "sD3DDevice". The strange thing is that I can play on high settings without much problems, I just don't get why it keeps showing the Intel HD graphics card. Thanks for trying to help me anyways :P

[hrolvnir]

@JaskenFtw Ive been trying to find the line for while, cant find it ANYWHERE! has this changed since you posted?

@JaskenFtw

Hi. I was looking through the prefs and saw that line, entered it into google wondering if I could enable SLI there (I'm having sli issues now, they started after I tried a shader mod, and wont correct when i delete the mod). Do you know if SLI can be edited in the

SkyrimPrefs.ini?

[SuperJonas]

Thanks! Worked great for me :)

[Zobra0115]

Anyone know what i should do if my skyrim are minimized?

[JaskenFtw]

@Zobra0115 Uncheck "Windowed mode" in your Skyrim Options from the launcher. :P

[bionic747]

@Zobra0115 Click on the window in the taskbar, and it shows up. Then click the desktop, then click the window again.

Seems to work. Thank you very much dude !

[michaelpalmer16]

Worked like a charm and saved the game. Thanks!!

[Jayzerow]

i tried the other method and when i start skyrim, the notepad file sets it automaticly back to the intel grfx, zhy is that?? :(

[Jayzerow]

@Jayzerow nevermind

[Skalsky2464]

Mate. You are actually a fucken' legend. Thanks so much ay. I thought my computers graphics card was shit. But then I looked at the video discription, and i'm running almost the exact same system specs as you. (555m) i7 and 6gb ram...

You've shown me the light brother. Now i'm gonna go play Skyrim. Like a boss

[goldenbearzz]

wow you went really fast

[JaskenFtw]

@Joshbowen

Hmm, strange, there's no reason either method shouldn't work. Unless your preferred graphics processor has not been set to the Nvidia, and is still trying to use intel HD as default?

Is the game not recognizing the Nvidia gpu at all?

I wish I could give you 10,000 likes. You are a god among men.

[JoshBowen16]

Used both this and the other more manual method, still not working. No idea what the problem is. Running a gt 540m.

[Maxxx6662801]
