I have been having the same issue, but after some looking I think I found a better solution.
First you need to grab nvidia inspector (just google it). Then open it up and click the button to the right of the driver version which will bring you to the profile settings. Make a new profile, name it something like "Path of Exile", click the add program button, and try to add client.exe from the POE folder. Unfortunately that won't work but it should tell you what other profiles use client.exe. In my case I deleted the Phantasy Star 2 profile and the Dragon: MMORPG profile, and then it let me add client.exe to the Path of Exile profile. Once you've done that hit the apply changes button in the top right and close nvidia inspector. Then just open up the nvidia control panel and you should be able to add client.exe and have it ocme up as Path of Exile(or whatever you named the profile you created) and you should be able to select your gpu. It's possible future driver updates may reset the built-in profiles and cause problems, but if that happens you should be able to just repeat the process. Still, it would be nice if they just renamed the .exe and saved us all the trouble. | |
" " both these solutions worked thanks.I still use the client.exe when I need to change to Integrated graphic for playing on battery. It'd be nice if they fix it though. | |
I'm having this exact same problem. I've tried all the solutions but none have worked.
The new "poe.exe" is still there and even if I set it to use the nvidia gpu it still only uses the Intel HD 4000. is there anything else I can do? | |
" This is probably the best solution for now, IMO. Have two shortcuts, one for your hard-link for normal play, and another one for Client.exe when there's an actual patch. (Rename it to 'custom updater', say.) | |
I renamed client.exe to poe.exe.
Add the poe.exe to Nvidia control panel and forced it to use the Nvidia card. Even though the game redownloads a new client.exe file you can still run the game from the poe.exe file you created earlier to utilize the Nvidia GPU. Hopefully a PoE dev notices this thread and can fix up the problem as it used to work pre patch. | |
" This works. Thanks. Bumping in hopes that PoE devs see this bug. Last edited by balln56 on Jan 28, 2013, 2:07:13 PM

Have to redo it after a patch :/
|
|
well I have the same problem, luckily I can manually force to activate PoE using the better graphic card
| |
I tried all the "solutions" and yes, in Nvidia Control Panel I can set it to Nvidia "High-Performance GPU" but the game still loads with Intel HD Graphics 3000...
| |
I've tried all of these suggestions and still coudn't make the game detect my Nvidia graphics card :/
Is there any official statement on this, from POE staff? |
