The game doesn't recognize my GPU - now confirmed the game is using it.

Most games make a config file where the definition of grafic cards is set if there are more than 1 (like in your case).

Go to Documents > X Rebirth and take a look at the config file, maybe there is an entry like

dxadapter=0

or similar that you must change to dxadapter=1 to make your power GPU work.

Some more thoughts:
You shouldn't play such demanding games like XR on a laptop. Play them on a desktop computer where your GPU is correctly ventilated. Laptops have miserable ventilation designs that will soon or late result in your laptop to overheat permanently, or even some plastic parts near the vents to break.

I think we have exhausted the hands-off diagnostics route now that we have established that you are using the Nvidia card for gameplay. What you really need is someone with the same equipment to say how well they can play the game and how they may have improved gameplay. There may be some pretty obvious system or Nvidia setting that makes all the difference on that set-up that I just don't know about.

XenonSurf, I don't find a X Rebirth folder in Documents :/
And don't worry for my laptop, it's made for gaming, and I don't have any desktop :/

And Alan, I hope I'll find someone with the same equipment.

You will find something like this:

Drive:\Users\Your Name\Documents\Egosoft\X Rebirth\nnnnnnnn\config.xml

I don't think that is an issue or solution area now since we found out that the game does use the Nvidia card.

I've taken a look at my config.xml file.
There is NO option to change the grafics card, so this was just a possibility.

Maybe post your problem also in Steam Support if you play the game through Steam.

I checked and I found nothing too...
I don't know what to do now... Maybe if I use a software like Game Booster to optimize the game ?
