Yeah as topic states i have this problem:

My friend just bought a MSI Apache Pro Ge70 2pe and we went home to set it up.. all worked fine and we then installed Diablo 3... The game itself can run on low graphics with 60-80 fps on only 1280/760 resolution..

I know that it is because it is using the integrated graphics when running Diablo 3.. the problem is i can't change it.. I am not a known user of Windows 8 or 8.1 and practically knows shit about it..
I have been in the NV graphics control panel and went into the "adjust 3D settings", then changed global setting to "always use NV GPU", yet in the "progam settings" section i can't change the use of integrated or NV graphics with Diablo 3..

So anyone, please help me to change setting, so the pc isn't forcing integrated graphics when playing games..

Yeah well i did install the newest beta driver from geforce experience, and it worked.. the problem then was that the game went black screen when entering it.. i have fixed it now though, all it needed was to run the game in compatibility mode with windows 7...
Damn you windows 8.1 , for being so crappy :p

Well thanks anyway, Topic closed!
