Dell XPS 7590 - Not using Nvidia 1650, only using Intel HD graphics

Hello all,

I am having a dell XPS 7590 with windows 10 and everything up to date.

It is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 mobile and an Intel UHD graphics 630.

The Nvidia driver is the 461.09 and DirectX12.

The issue is that apart from the graphics before entering the main menu, the Nvidia GPU( GPU 1) is always idle during FS.

When I play only the Intel UHD (GPU 0) kicks in with average utilization of 40-50%.

I tried to force using the Nvidia GPU through the Nvidia panel, but nothing.
Also, I tried disabling the Intel UHD from bios and FS started with only using the CPU !!!

For other activities like browsing or media, the Nvidia GPU works fines.

TBH I don’t understand if it is a limitation of my current hardware/software on my laptop configuration or something messed up with my drivers’ configurations.

According to benchmarks, I was expecting to be playable with a mobile GTX 1650.

Thanks
This is an example of system utilization during game play (medium resolution):

Probably bad code. I wouldn’t expect hardware tinkering to fix it, I think we’ll have to wait for optimization from Asobo.

Yeah – could be bad “Bad Code”, or even a Gremlin got into your PC ? :hot_face:

or

99.99999999% more Likely, you need to configure your system to use the Nvidia GPU as default.

or .. its would seem that another option recommended is to just “wait” {SIGH}
..

Well, I am quite confident that NVIDIA is set as default through the nvidia panel and also from the windows preferences for the application.

Sounds like a job for “The Geek Squad”

Hi @ZeroUmbrella504,

MSFS use the correct GPU. Please be aware of the GPU_1 temperature of 75dec C.

How you can see the load of the GPU ?

  • please click onto these litte “Copy” area and then choose eg. Graphics_1 ( depends bit on your gpu model )
