Play on Secondary GFX Card? - jakecallery - 01-08-2011

Hey guys, I have two different cards installed in my system. An nVidia Quadro and a GTX 470... Currently when I launch the game it chooses the primary card which is the Quadro. That card does not play the game very well.. however the GTX470 does. Is there a way to force it to use the Secondary adapter? (I am playing this through steam, if that matters)

Thanks for the great game!

Jake

Ok I figured it out... you can change which card renders opengl with the Nvidia control panel in the Manage 3D settings section.. you just have to add amnesia as an app in the Program Settings tab..

Thanks again!
