PC PES 2012 and NVIDIA Optimus

[x_Totti_x]

Hi

I have an Alienware M14x laptop which is equipped with "NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology". I installed the two PES 2012 demos on my laptop. The problem I am facing is that the game setting only detects the integrated intel GPU and not the GeForce® GT 555M GPU. I tried different approaches to solve this issue but they all failed. I even updated my GPU to the latest firmware available (280.26).

I read that PES 2011 and PES 2010 also had this issue with NVIDIA Optimus GPUs. Does anyone have a solution to this?

At my notebook pes2011 went fine, pes2012 demos also without any troubles. My notebook is also equipped with optimus technology, using a geforce 310m which was detected. About the full game i dont know yet, didn't try it so far.

Thanks. But I tried this before and it did not work.

Well, if the demos did not work properly, I am sure the full game will also not work. Anyway, thanks for the info.

you have to apply this solution (http://forums.evo-web.co.uk/showpost.php?p=2331764&postcount=646) both for pes2012.exe and settings.exe

i have a M17XR3, and had same problem.

Now Im using 280.19 driver, and works fine.

Go to NVIDIA Control Panel, then Manage 3D setting, select pes2012.exe and settting.exe, change them to High-performance Nvidia processor. It should work.

BTW, Dell sucks because they update thr graphic driver way too slow, I found the 280.19 driver so hard to make PES2011,2012 work. But Im not sure about m14x and 280.26.

I have a Lenovo Z470 laptop equiped with nvidia optimus system and I had the same problem when I tried to play pes 2012, even though I had installed the last drivers for my video card (donwloaded from the nvidia official website) and I was very disapointed.
But I discovered a "magic" button that turn off the optimus system which is located in the front of the laptop and when I press that button I can manage the profiles of the graphic card by my onw will.
I think that if my laptop has a way to turn off the optimus system, maybe all of yours have something similar.
