My Alpha 3 Issue 2

from GalCiv3 Forums

My computer is a new razer blade 2014 running at 3200x1800 with NVidia GeForce 870M.  When I run the app the framerate is very poor roughly 10-12 FPS.  It is using the discrete graphics when running.  Obviously other games run fine (Titanfall 45-50FPS, Crysis, 30-35 FPS as example).  I would imagine graphic performance not really tuned yet but thought I would mention it.  If more information required please let me know.

Are you forcing nVidia to use your graphics card? I know you need to set the card to be used when running GalCiv 3 in the nVidia control panel. It could be the case that the computer is defaulting to your intelchip graphics card instead.

edit: This is an optimus thing and I've had to set it on my 555M card.

The program would not run alpha 1 due to not recognizing m video cards all the way. I had to use my intel HD Grapix 4000.

I have not tried the alpha 3 with my Radeon yet.

Yes, I verified in the NVidia control panel that it should use the NVidia GPU for this game, also the system tray indicator from NVIDIA lights up saying that it is indeed using the GPU.  Not too worried about it, it is Alpha but I wanted Stardock to know.

thanks

just fyi - after latest fix the FPS is actually a little worse, about 8 fps.
