I just got a gaming laptop. I'm not very tech savvy so I thought I could just download and play. But, apparently this laptop as two graphic cards: an integrated intel and a GeForce. The game only seems to recognize the integrated one. When I go into the graphics menu, I don't see the other in the drop down.

My speccy just in case its needed:

    You may have to install your Nvidia graphics drivers first before the game will recognize it. I had to do this once I got my new computer as well.

    Try going to Nvidia's website or grabbing GeForce Experience, and install your drivers that way.

    Once installed, you should be able to see your graphics card in the Options menu in-game.

    Thanks for the reply, I just updated my drivers but I still cannot see that graphics card. I wonder if I can safely disable that Intel graphics. I'm off to google around. :)

    edit: I learned about the Nvidia Control panel where I can set a preference and it got it working. :D
