So, thing i tried:
1. Switching to High-performance NVIDIA processor in Control Panel
2. Adding an ShadowOfMordor.exe and force it to use High-performance NVIDIA processor in Control Panel
3. ShadowOfMordor.exe > Run with graphic processor > High-performance NVIDIA processor
4. Using custom profiles in Nvidia Inspector
5. Different version of drivers
6. Reinstalling Windows

When disabling my Intel HD Graphics Card, the Nvidia one apparently disables too.
My BIOS doesn't have an option to turn off Intel card.

Other people with the same problem apparently fixed this inside the control panel, but this doesn't work for me.

Help, please.

P.S. Sorry for bad english, not my native language.

ASUS N550JV, Nvidia 750m and Intel HD 4600.
Other games runs just fine, Skyrim for example.


Yep. Tried old and new drivers, nothing changed.

Check this thread about the same issue in Divinity-Original Sin with many people experiencing it. If none of the workarounds in it solve the problem (or even if some do), a patch may be needed for the game.

Do note however that even some people with desktop systems have had to flash their MB BIOS to get the game to recognize their 970 GPUs, so you might try updating your BIOS if you haven't.

That laptop's latest BIOS version looks to be 208, which released 12/27/2013.

This might be a case of NVIDIA Optimus messing up GPU detection. Windows is probably defaulting to the Intel HD, and not switching to NVIDIA when the game launches due to outdated drivers. Try disabling Optimus, either through the NVIDIA Control Panel, or by setting the laptop to a Performance power profile. But I'm 99% sure NVIDIA Optimus is the problem here.

The article I linked to above has people verifying these problems can exist even when the GPU being loaded is the discrete vs onboard.

Personally, I'd try the MB BIOS update first.
