help with notebook

Question

Hi, good night everyone.

I have an Acer Aspire Nitro 5 AN515-54-574Q notebook but there is one thing I wanted to understand, it has a GTX 1650 video card, but I noticed that it is also using the processor's integrated graphics. An example of this is Minecraft.
Even using optifine I have bad graphics and little performance because the game is using the integrated card instead of the dedicated card.

I use optifine to increase performance and add shaders but it doesn't work as it should.

The shader pack I'm trying to use is this one: https://wminecraft.net/bsl-shaders-mod-shaderpack-for-minecraft/

Thanks in advance for everyone's attention.

Hi @dailyhighlight9518

You will need to

1) Find the location of where javaw.exe is located (for Minecraft)

2) Go to Start Menu > Graphics settings > Click Browse

3) Go to the location of javaw.exe and click on the EXE file to add it to Graphics performance preference

4) When javaw is added to Graphics settings, click on the program > Click Options > Choose High Performance (your GPU) > Press Save

5) Re-launch Minecraft and it should be using your GPU instead of the built-in graphics card.
