    I have m11x R2, with all of the drivers updated. When i run maplestory, it runs on the intel graphics card. I added maplestory on the list of games to run with the nvidia graphics card, but it does not allow me to add Maplestory to the whitelist(or what ever its called) it just automatically blocks Nvidia and only option is the intel hd graphics card.

    So would anyone know what to do, or just continue to run it with the Intel hd graphics card? it runs fine with the intel graphics card, but i just want it to run with the nvidia graphics

    Are you using the 257.30 Dell drivers?
    Or the 258.96/259.xx?

    I know combat arms(made by Nexon, who also made MapleStory) has issues with the 257.30 drivers.
    Though the 258.96 ones work with combat arms.

    Try the 258.96 drivers, as those might work.

    Ms wont require too much power. Not sure about the new maps/patches but you should be fine with the intel.

    you can test it by bringing 10+ nightlords and make em spam TT lol. (in a boss or own a map)

    oh and to the others maplestory is a 2D game lol

    Nevermind all, Thank you for all the help, problem fixed

    Edit: Ok so I downloaded the drivers from Nvidia site, had them scan my system for the correct drivers, when i try to install the driver. A Message pops up saying " The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit". The only drivers i downloaded are from the Dell Support website.

    If you download drivers off of the nVidia website, you cannot install them directly. You need a modded INF file.

    Use the search tool to find the term "modded INF", and you'll find the thread that contains the link for the INF, plus instructions on how to use it.
