I am having an issue where - despite having set the X2 executable to use my laptop's GTX 660M in the nVidia control panel - X2 simply won't run using the dedicated graphics card. I have checked other forums for this issue, which mostly seem to indicate that this problem can't be fixed even by disabling the integrated graphics from the BIOS (which would be a fuss anyway).
Nevertheless, I post this problem here in the off-chance that someone knows or can figure out a solution.
Edit: After going through GOG and nVidia support, this is the answer I got from nVidia - "This is expected behavior. Most Optimus notebooks use MS Hybrid under Windows 10 which under DirectX 8 and older DirectX APIs will only run on the integrated graphics."
Oh well, consider this a notice for any other Optimus users looking to buy X2.
