Dell Inspiron using integrated gfx for SimCity

[TheInfamous]

Hey guys, I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having. I am running the game on a Dell Inspiron 17R (i5-3210M, Nvidia 650M and 6gb RAM) and SimCity is running like crap, I have tried linking Origin and SimCity 5 to the "High-performance NVIDIA processor" but it seems to keep using the integrated graphics instead.

Does anyone have any ideas? any help would be appreciated.

try checking the NIVIDIA drivers, if that does not work it might be worth reinstalling the game. other wise I am a bit stumped, I have not heard of problems like this.

I had this problem once with a game, and adding a profile for it through the nvidia control panel seemingly made no difference. I removed the profile I'd made, downloaded nVidia inspector and created a profile that way and it worked perfectly. May be worth a shot
