So, I bought ArcheAge Archeum Founder's pack, etc... 150 bucks...
Now my problem is that it's in the Alpha, and I have an 880m, and apparently the game doesn't detect it as my dedicated GPU, and runs on my Intel 4600 HD, with 1-15 fps.
I tried changing the main GPU for it in the nVidia CP, 3D manager and Program Settings, but it's stuck on Integrated Graphics. Doesn't let me change.
Now the question is, can I somehow change it to my 880m?

i m not sure there is too much that can be done about this issue. as the game is still in alpha. but you could try rolling back the nvidia driver to a slightly older driver.
hope that helps

Any driver that is optimized for 880m?

Why not ask Trion if they have the ability to specify which video card to use? What happens if you actually disable your Intel card temporarily when you want to play the game?

Begins to lag even more. I sent a ticket about my problem, haven't gotten anything yet.

Hello, I also have this issue on an 860m, and from what I've been reading, most people have the same issue.
I have made a post in the Archeage forums on how to force your laptop to use the GPU instead of Intel HD, and it involved using the Nvidia Inspector program. This basically lets you query the profiles that you see in the NVidia Control Panel, and manually change them. I changed mine to enable the game to use the card (so it is no longer greyed out in the NCP).

The post was titled NVidia 8XX Series card FPS issues. I can't link it as I'm at work and the AA forums are blocked. I'm BadgerFodder on those forums too if that helps find the post.
