Question
soluti0ni9e
Hey everyone. Here is my scenario and all the fixes and things I have tried to try and get my video card to be recognized by Skyrim again. First off, about a year ago I purchased a lovely MSI GT-60 gaming laptop with an nVidia GeForce GTX 770 M Graphics Card. I installed Skyrim and Direct X and an ENB and everything was fine and dandy. Then life hit and I stopped gaming for a while. When I took my laptop back out, I decided to reformat. Everything went fine and I proceeded to install Skyrim and all my mods again.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I downloaded Steam, downloaded Skyrim and installed Direct X. Booted up the Skyrim Launcher and cool - it dettected my nVidia card and set it to Ultra High Quality. Then I downloaded an ENB. I installed all the files correctly and booted up the launcher. It stopped detecting my nvidia and instead detected my Intel Graphics 4600. Here is everything I have tried:
1) Tried the Optimus fix - this works but bokeh, bloom and some other ENB elements do not work - what's the point of ENB then?
2) Updated to the latest and greatest nVidia drivers. Still does not detect the card. How come it tworked before (almost a year ago without any problems? When was Optimus technology introduced? Did it install via a Windows Update or some ****?)
3) Tried disabling the onboard gfx in BIOS. Does not work.
4) Tried the whole nVidia CP thing (adding the process and enabling nvidia gpu processor) - still don't work.
5) Tried several fresh reformats from scratch - still doesnt work (should I run as many Windows Updates as I can maybe?)
Any advice or help is much appreciated. Like i mentioned before, this used to work just fine on Windows 8 and Windows 7 last December...What if I load the drivers that nVidia had during that time...?
