hey guys, i just downloaded portal on my pc via steam, but it's running on DirectX 8 (showed in video settings), although my 880m are in DirectX 11, which leaves the intel HD graphics. So how can i run the game using the NVIDIA cards instead of these integrated graphic cards, cz the game is lagging a bit...

Pretty sure you can just right click the desktop icon of each game individually and there's a section with options to switch between on-board and nvidia. Otherwise go to your nvidia control panel and switch your preference for graphics use
