GTA V still not using NVIDIA GPU even after adding GTAV.exe in NVIDIA control panel, applying and rebooting on Windows 10. No matter what I do it seems to refuse to use my GPU. Was hoping to take a trip down memory lane with this old ass title.

I even specified it under Windows own graphics settings as well and that didn't seem to resolve the issue.

I set the following to launch under "high performance" to no avail.
Grand Theft Auto V
Rockstar Games Launcher
Rockstar Games Launcher Patcher
Rockstar Games Launcher Redirector
Rockstar Games Launcher Service
Rockstar Games Steam Helper

To clarify this is a laptop.

Edit: Resolved

is this a laptop where the GPU passes forcibly through the iGPU? If so tough luck, had the same issue with my laptop 5 years ago.

You're going to have to disable the integrated GPU in BIOS if you're hoping to use your dedicated GPU. Sometimes architecture isn't smart enough to use the actual GPU instead of the iGPU. I'm assuming this is a laptop. If it's a desktop, you can try plugging your DisplayPort into the video card instead of the I/O for the motherboard.

I'm not quite sure. Maybe?

Razer Blade 15 Gaming Laptop 2020: Intel Core i7-10750H 6-Core, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q, 15.6" 4K OLED, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD + my own 1TB SSD.

It has no issues with other games thus far, for some reason GTAV won't budge.

You might have a setting in GTAV that will force it to use only the GPU, but you may have to disable the iGPU in BIOS for it to work. GTA5 isn't the most PC friendly game out there

Thank you. I will look into disabling the integrated GPU in the BIOS and report back. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just for one title though. It is a laptop.

When you right click on the shortcut, does it give you option to run with nvidia dedicated gpu or something along those lines?

I tried this directly but it basically threw me some kind of error saying I need to launch it through some other executable.

Update: It's working now. Thanks for the help everyone :)

I ended up trying to find that option in the bios to no avail, probably because Razer bios is known to suck. Fortunately after rebooting it mysteriously began working with the NVIDIA. I didn't manage to find an option in the settings of the game. I'm just going to chalk it up to magic.
