Can't use my Nvidia graphics card on Firestorm

[Orionof]

My Computer has a Nvidia Geforce graphics card. I use the Firestorm Viewer. SL was running fine until firestorn informed me that it was no longer using my nice Nvidia graphics card, and that it is using my internal Intel Graphics card instead. Now there is too much lag for my avatar to even walk sometimes.

How do I tell firestorm to actually use the better graphics card?

Right click the desktop.  choose Nvidia control panel.  When that opens go to programme settings.   Select a programme drop down.  choose firestorm.  ADD .. done

often right click the shortcut to launch the viewer, and pick the right line in the menu that appears ,leads you directly to the choice of GC, or as second choice to check the setting like Cindy shows.

The message you get comes up at mine sometimes too, mostly when i click SLURLS from websites when i'm not logged in yet or after updates in windows.

@Orionof If you want to tweak the NVIDIA for the best performance read NVIDIA Settings 2016.

You are free to do whatever you want. 

Those of us that have been tweaking SL Viewers for performance for years understand Microsoft and NVIDIA do not include custom settings in their systems for SL. If you want optimal performance in SL, or any game, you will use the NVIDIA provided controls and build a custom settings set for your game. It is obvious NVIDIA knows this and so provided the customization options as game specific sets. Microsoft makes the generic simple to use settings for the.... computer novice.
