I have set in the NVidia control panel "manage 3d settings" to only use GTX 770M and then under advanced set x rebirth to GTX 770M.
When I have a monitor connected to the HDMI out then x rebirth will offer the GTX 770M - when not connected I can only select the Intel 4600

This may be an NVidia driver issue.

I have an MSI laptop as well (GT60 0ND with GTX680M). Rebirth is working on the Nvidia card via the internal display or an external display.

Does your laptop power light power LED change colour from white to orange when the Nvidia card is being used?

Even with patch 1.15 Rebirth still only displays the Intel video card as a choice in settings, however the Nvidia card is being used on mine.

Check the GPU activity icon.

This is a nice piece of information that I was previously unaware of. Thank you. Next time I am "standalone" I shall check.
