My laptop is one of those new set ups with a basic Intel chip for "regular" use but an actual good dedicated card for when I play a game that needs the juice.

ToEE doesn't seem to be able to recognize the fact that my computer has switched to the better card when I launch it (not listed in the card slot under Options). Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Laptop in question is a HP DV7-6193CA from Costco Canada. Thanks for any help/suggestions provided.

There is an application where I can designate the toee executable to activate the dedicated card over the Intel chipset, but that doesn't seem to be recognized by the game.

I've now played a few more hours and I must say I don't think that it matters with ToEE... except for not being able to play full screen (the game doesn't seem to support a 17" 16:9 aspect ratio resolution), everything is working fine.

I couldn't get 1980x1200 or anything thereabouts myself, but (by using the settings in Co8 launcher) 1280x720 worked out just fine.

The most I can get with this Intel chipset is 1024x768... which leaves a copule of inches of "dead" space on each side of the screen.

Not fatal but a little annoying... but I'd love the 1280x720 you were able to get. I suspect I'd get it if I could figure out a way to turn off the dynamic switching and just use the better card.

Thanks for this, I had the opposite problem, but this pointed me in the right direction.

My computer was using the integrated card for TOEE, and I didn't know it. I was having graphics problems, and the game would crash right after I chose the party alignment. Checking like above, I found the place where you can set the video card, switched it to the dedicated card, and now it runs like a champ.
