When I open Anarchy Online and go to settings, I try to change my graphics card option to my Nvidia Geforce 940m. however, the only options are "Primary Display Driver" and "Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500." Neither options run particularly well, and I am unable to change settings such as anti aliasing for the old-engine version via the Nvidia control panel. which makes the game look fugly. I cannot figure why my Graphics card is not recognized. Do I need to install an earlier version of directx? This laptop comes with Dx12, do I need 7,8,9,10,11, or what? does it matter?
What can I do to use my graphics card with AO? I have tried right clicking and running with nvidia card but it seems to do nothing once I start the game. I have tried changing settings via the Nvidia control panel as explained in Caloss2's popular video.
I have yet to try disabling my intel graphics in the bios as I'm not sure that would help...
I do not want to uninstall windows 10 for windows 7.
Please help as I bought a 6 month subscription shortly before buying this new computer and it has been going to waste rapidly because the game is unplayable (for myself) with rough pixelated edges and an utter crap frame rate.
EDIT: Here I will compile a list of old threads in this forums of people with my EXACT PROBLEM. I found all of these posts by searching "graphics card" and clicking on the titles that looked promising. Please funcom, give Mobility graphics cards a chance!
