    Hello,
    is there some way to spoof what GPU to use? It seems that a game has taken the belief that it's running under the IGP and is refusing to show any high settings and likewise reverts any changes done via the console.

    Though I do know that the game is running under the dedicated.

    It's a Source game for record.

    Source games shouldn't have any problems with what they'll let you do or not. Sounds more like the issue where it doesn't save the settings. Do you have anything in the launch settings by chance?

    If you have an AMD card, RadeonPro lets you use GPU spoofing.

    As settings go and parameters - I've tried everything from autoconfig to console parameters. No goes :(

    And I'm afraid no AMD card. My best guess is that I have to somehow make the intel card be listed as something else than what it is.
