Hi, I have a laptop with a Intel HD 4600 and a GTX 870M and even I launch the test with the GTX 870M at the end on the report it detects the Intel HD 4600, so the data it's sending wrong.

You probably need to change that in the Nvidia control panel. It might be in the 3d settings. Find the application from the drop down menu and change the GPU.

I'm seeing this as well with my Alienware laptop. It is displaying that the GPU is the integrated Intel 630, but it's running on the Nvidia 1050. Verified because I've made certain of that in the Nvidia control panel, and I've also ran the executables directly via the right-click, 'Run with graphics processor' option.  I can also hear the fans spin up like they only do when running games, not so much when running only CPU intensive things like exporting a bunch of images via Lightroom.

(Alienware 13 R13, i5-7300HQ, Nvidia 1050)

And I'm pretty certain I'm not going to get "good" results from the integrated graphics.

On the test Results page it shows the GPU: as the intel one and not the Nvidia 1050 ti.

Even if I right click the 'Project Borealis.exe' -> Run with Graphics processor Nvidia.


I also made changes in the Nvidia control pannel to set the borealis to run with the GPU

It seems to be running with the GPU but on the results page, the GPU isn't listed as the Nvidia GPU.

As other people say, even you specify to use NVIDIA card on NVIDIA control panel, the test detects only the Intel HD card but it's executed with the NVIDIA card, as the Vulcan version runs well (if you use the Intel on Vulcan version it's very laggy)
