Why do i have lag? :P (specs inside)

yes i know there diffrent outputs.. Actually the HD4000 is built into your laptops processer and not the mainboard.. THe nvidia card is just A MXM addon card. The way optimus works tho is it uses the Nvidia GPU for 3d and uses the intel card for everything else.... Even if you turn off the Intel card its still using it for display Hence why the The nvidia display manager does not have anything for resolution changing .... Unless your laptops bios has an ability to turn off the intel chipset and just use the nvidia card (if it does) then the nvidia card has its own display port.

The reason for the fatal direct x error is not because it uses dx from the intel card its erroring because Direct X for the nvidia gpu cannot change resolutions for the display manager.


Not saying you cant play that way but thats why your getting weird things happening.

ah, you meant it like that.. yeah, that seems to be correct (though at certain games its still possible to play with only the gtx680m)

And yeah.. though the error might not be fully related to it, its probably still the directx ... atm im fully basing it on a friend who had exactly the same problems with WoW but fixed them by simply turning on the dx11 version/setting... its not much to base it on, but at least its something

Now heres the thing ill do another screen shot of it even tho it says its using the intel hd 4000 chip check the nvidia icon on the top bar it will say its using the nvidia gpu... Which it says intel hd 4000 because thats what the display output is but the hd 4000 is not rendering the image the nvidia gpu is..




Its 100 percent normal becuase FFXIV does not have optimus detection... The game thinks HD 4000 but the nvidia card is actually picking up the graphics...

Ignore the 16 fps lol as the client throttles your fps when not focus...
