Vulkan vs Dx11 (feddit.nl)

Hi there! Just seeing if other people have the same issue that I have.

My i7 Geforce gtx 1650 laptop does play the game, but it feels a bit slow whenin dx11, a bit like theres a delay, or if my chars are moving through denser air.

If I switch to Vulkan the performance is way better and way more snappy. Only thing is that it crashes every time I get into a dialog.

So I am wondering if others do have the same problem, or have some insights. TYVM!

Is your system actually using the 1650 or is using the integrated graphics?

This is weird, it might not be.... How can I change this, it doesn't give me an option...

The option would be in the nvidia control panel. You can have game specific settings per game. Not all games default to igpu or dgpu, and this is only a problem specific to laptops due to the graphics switching behavior to maximize battery life.

Yeah I found a way to deafult the Nvidea for every program

That should do the trick. Chances are it is switching over, but it doesn't hurt to double check. Laptops are oddballs for the external graphics cards compared to desktops because they share the ports instead of desktops that have dedicated ports.

Cheers, will give it a go.
