    I'm doing a GPU overclock for the first time using MSI afterburner. I'm trying to use the kombustor burn in to test my overclock, but it keeps using the intel gpu instead of the nvidia card. I even went and whitelisted kombustor, and its still picking up the wrong card.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks! :)

    I was having this issue as well. Whitelisting doesn't seem to work with Kombustor, you instead have to manually right-click the executable, then choose the "Run with graphics processor" and select the Nvidia. Hope it helps. :)
