Max Payne Graphics select?

[Shozuki]

Hey all,

When I play Max Payne (Steam Version) It loads to the settings screen and will only show the intel integrated graphics and therefore not load the game.

How I get it to see the GTX 580?

Thanks!

there is a way to add the game executable to the optimus profile. cant tell you how, i have AMD

steam version isnt out yet.. might be the cause

no mate it is!! I'm talking about the original and 2!! They actually come free with Max Payne 3 pre-order...

My issue is that the only graphics card it picks up is the integrated one not the 580. Can I disable the integrated graphics somehow?

Thanks

then you need to force the maxpayne.exe in nvidia controlpanel.
so called whitelist.

max payne 2? This old game doesn't push the card at all - my 580 (3d model so no optimus) always runs automatically in P1 with this game, the lower clock setting, so it does sound like the IGFX is staying active. Lots of threads about how to force this, I don't have the option....

That's how I got to try it out.

Not sure how the Fn-F7 works but if it is a toggle then maybe that will switch you? You always have the option to set the primary video in the BIOS and not let it auto select - I've seen posts where this was the solution

use the guide in my sig to whitelist the .exe for the game and you should be good to go.

cheers, well I tried that and now Max Payne doesnt load at all. Before it got to the settings page where you can then run the game.

If I turn the settings back to default the settings page appears but only has the integrated graphics as its display adaptor....

What a pain!! I just wanted to replay these before 3 is out!
