Don't want games to run on the Intel GPU

[harri1]

Hi,

my laptop has a Intel UHD Graphics 620 and NVIDIA GeForce MX250. So usually I only play casual old school games on it, because for new games and larger stuff I use my Playstation. However, I bought a game a year ago which doesn't really have great graphics but eats memory like it's candy (PoE 2). The 1GB Intel cannot keep up, so I hoped dedicating the 2GB NVIDIA as the main GPU for 3D would resolve the issue. But my laptop still uses the Intel as the main GPU which has detrimental effects on performance, as it only switches to the NVIDIA when GPU use on the Intel is over 95% at which point the game lags as hell. The NVIDIA is already set as the primary processing unit in the NVIDIA settings, but I can't find any comparable setting in the Intel Control Room - My current guess is that the Intel Control Room or some other settings are overwriting the NVIDIA settings. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
