Switching GPUs
Set a default graphics card in Windows 10[citation needed] |
---|
Red Alert 3: Uprising, like its predecessor, apparently prioritizes the integrated graphics card over the dedicated one in systems with two GPUs. If the integrated card runs the game slowly because it is not as powerful as the dedicated one, this may result in severe slowdown when running the game at Ultra Settings. Normally this fix is simply accomplished by using the Windows 10 graphical setup to select the High Performance GPU, but Red Alert 3 requires an extra step:
The game will now run on the dedicated graphics card instead of the integrated one, ensuring maximum performance. |
