Nvidia Optimus Not letting me start games
I have a Packard Bell gaming laptop. It's an i5 quad core, has 12 gigs of RAM, and GTX 750m.
The problem is that it has Nvidia Optimus, a feature that lets the Intel HD Graphics be the primary graphics processor while not using heavy 3D demanding apps and games.
I just bought Daylight (Super Keen), and it won't run because when it checks for system specs, it uses the the Intel GPU (which doesn't support DX 11 apparently) instead of the GTX card. How can I fix this?
