Thread: Which GPU to use for TATW3?

    Default Which GPU to use for TATW3?

    Hi all, just bought a new laptop and setting it up. It has two gpus: the Intel UHD 630 and an Nvidia GTX 1050Ti (4GB).

    Is it ok to play TATW3 with the Intel or is it better to use the Nvidia? I have been thinking since the game is quite old it can use the Intel and leave the Nvidia for the other demanding games.

    I hope to hear some opinions .

    To be honest, I don't get the problem. Do you somehow play more than one game at the same time?

    Unless you encounter issues with your Nvidia card i'd say use it, since it will provide much better performance. Med 2 seems to work quite well as far as GPU's go - my two 970's in SLI work just fine, and I haven't even tinkered with it in Nvidia inspector!
    And if, as Veteeran said, you do plan on playing two games at once, it will still be a real killer on ram and CPU, just so you keep that in mind. Several tabs in chrome, a running 1080p youtube video, Med 2, and a couple of background programs is enough to make my i7 work at like 90%. Two games? Seems like a bad idea.

    No no I am not going to play two games at once. Never knew it was possible either. I am just asking whether the integrated graphics of the laptop is enough to run Med 2 or switch to the GTX 1050. Thanks guys

    Well, that's quite easy to check, just try it with your integrated graphics and if that doesn't work, switch to the GTX 1050. It will almost certainly perform (much) better, but the integrated graphics will probably use less power. Saving the planet and all that....
