So I recently recorded Minecraft, and got like at maximum 15 FPS.
So I was a bit wondered, opened up the F3 screen. et voila - It used the Intel HD card.
That is really odd because I've got a GeForce GTX750M installed in my Laptop.
So then I went into my nVidia system settings, setting the default GPU to "nvidia".
Game runs cool, nice. Then I tried recording, and my game just froze, at times it crashed with the nVidia openGL driver throwing a tantrum.
So then in the Nvidia settings I selected "Automatic Pick", and again, Intel HD.
My next step was to go to the nVidia control program settings and I added "javaw.exe", and what does it say for the preferred GPU?
"use global settings (Automatic Pick: Integrated Graphics)"
So with other words, my nVidia will not use itself voluntarely and if It's forced to be used, it whines and crashes.

NOTE my PC has NOT bluescreened from this, also I have tried installing the Game Ready driver, update my driver multiple times and using the "official" Dell nVidia driver specific for my Laptop.

Any help?

(please forgive my english, I am german)

Well that's pretty easy. well your pretty much there. at use global settings instead automatic pick: Integrated Graphics.. select the high end processor aka the GPU nvidia thing. because laptops with dual GPU is set to default as Integrated.

This thing will fix the problem i had this problem already and it's easier than i thought.
