Hi,
on my Dell laptop, my game uses the Intel iGPU instead of the dedicated AMD GPU (verified by looking at GPU usage in GPU-Z). Other games like World of Warcraft use the dedicated GPU, so this has to be an issue of my game. I remember having already tried something, but it was not successful so I undid the changes.
Here is the code I use to initialize Direct3D:
// Create a DirectX graphics interface factory.
result = CreateDXGIFactory(__uuidof(IDXGIFactory), (void**)&factory);
if(FAILED(result))
{
return false;
}
// Use the factory to create an adapter for the primary graphics interface (video card).
result = factory->EnumAdapters(0, &adapter);
if(FAILED(result))
{
return false;
}
// Enumerate the primary adapter output (monitor).
result = adapter->EnumOutputs(0, &adapterOutput);
if(FAILED(result))
{
return false;
}
// Get the number of modes that fit the DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM display format for the adapter output (monitor).
result = adapterOutput->GetDisplayModeList(DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM, DXGI_ENUM_MODES_INTERLACED, &numModes, NULL);
if(FAILED(result))
{
return false;
}
// Create a list to hold all the possible display modes for this monitor/video card combination.
displayModeList = new DXGI_MODE_DESC[numModes];
if(!displayModeList)
{
return false;
}
// Now fill the display mode list structures.
result = adapterOutput->GetDisplayModeList(DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM, DXGI_ENUM_MODES_INTERLACED, &numModes, displayModeList);
if(FAILED(result))
{
return false;
}
// Now go through all the display modes and find the one that matches the screen width and height.
// When a match is found store the numerator and denominator of the refresh rate for that monitor.
for(unsigned int i=0; i<numModes; i++)
{
if(displayModeList[i].Width == (unsigned int)ScreenWidth)
{
if(displayModeList[i].Height == (unsigned int)ScreenHeight)
{
numerator = displayModeList[i].RefreshRate.Numerator;
denominator = displayModeList[i].RefreshRate.Denominator;
}
}
}
// Get the adapter (video card) description.
result = adapter->GetDesc(&adapterDesc);
if(FAILED(result))
{
return false;
}
// Store the dedicated video card memory in megabytes.
VideoCardMemory = (int)(adapterDesc.DedicatedVideoMemory / 1024 / 1024);
VideoCardDescription = adapterDesc.Description + (L"\nVRAM: " + std::to_wstring(VideoCardMemory)) + L" MB";
// Release the display mode list.
delete [] displayModeList;
displayModeList = 0;
// Release the adapter output.
adapterOutput->Release();
adapterOutput = 0;
// Release the adapter.
adapter->Release();
adapter = 0;
// Release the factory.
factory->Release();
factory = 0;
// Initialize the swap chain description.
ZeroMemory(&swapChainDesc, sizeof(swapChainDesc));
// Set to a single back buffer.
swapChainDesc.BufferCount = 1;
// Set the width and height of the back buffer.
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.Width = ScreenWidth;
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.Height = ScreenHeight;
// Set regular 32-bit surface for the back buffer.
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
// Set the refresh rate of the back buffer.
if(VsyncEnabled && FullscreenMode == EFullscreenMode::Fullscreen)
{
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.RefreshRate.Numerator = numerator;
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.RefreshRate.Denominator = denominator;
}
else
{
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.RefreshRate.Numerator = 0;
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.RefreshRate.Denominator = 1;
}
// Set the usage of the back buffer.
swapChainDesc.BufferUsage = DXGI_USAGE_RENDER_TARGET_OUTPUT;
// Set the handle for the window to render to.
swapChainDesc.OutputWindow = hwnd;
swapChainDesc.SampleDesc.Count = Settings::MSAA;
swapChainDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
// Set to full screen or windowed mode.
if(FullscreenMode == EFullscreenMode::Fullscreen)
{
swapChainDesc.Windowed = false;
}
else
{
swapChainDesc.Windowed = true;
}
// Set the scan line ordering and scaling to unspecified.
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.ScanlineOrdering = DXGI_MODE_SCANLINE_ORDER_UNSPECIFIED;
swapChainDesc.BufferDesc.Scaling = DXGI_MODE_SCALING_UNSPECIFIED;
// Discard the back buffer contents after presenting.
swapChainDesc.SwapEffect = DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_DISCARD;
// Don't set the advanced flags.
swapChainDesc.Flags = 0;
D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL FeatureLevels[] = { D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_1, D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_10_0 };
ID3D11DeviceContext* lDeviceContext;
// Create the swap chain, Direct3D device, and Direct3D device context.
result = D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain(NULL, D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE, 0, D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_BGRA_SUPPORT
#if defined(_DEBUG) || defined(DEBUG_GRAPHICS)
| D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG
#endif
, FeatureLevels, 3, D3D11_SDK_VERSION, &swapChainDesc, &SwapChain, &Device, &FeatureLevel, &lDeviceContext);
