Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of a trouble with my laptop. So I installed forza 6 apex recently but it said that my graphic driver is not compatible. Then I find out that the game keep detecting my I GPU instead of my GTX950M because the i GPU is the default GPU. can someone help me how to turn fro  i gpu to NVidia gpu? thx

some laptops only use the gpu if they are connected to power.

I had the same error on my laptop, try updating your drivers.

Nvidia Optimus only enables the 950M when you put a 3D workload on the system
