Hi all, I've got a problem in the graphic launcher as when I click on detect it says "card is not listed, assuming medium settings", however the launcher detects the NVIDIA gpu and not the Intel card as you can see here: [attachment=5600]

Video drivers are all updated at the latest versions and also I've selected the dedicated gpu as preferred. Just for info, I don't know if it helps but I've noted that when I run A Machine for Pigs, the issue doesn't happen. Do you have any suggestion?
Amnesia has a database of known cards but it doesn't list every one. The game detects it though, so you can play it. It just means it doesn't know what the best settings are.
Ok I didn't know that. But if I wanted, could I manually expand the database to list my card?
It doesn't need to include your card. You can define the settings best suited for your experience from the Launcher or through Amnesia's settings. Simply adjust them to suit your computer's handling of Amnesia; if it lags, lower a setting or two, if you're at 60FPS, raise a setting or two.
PHP Code:
Amnesia The Dark Descent\[redist]\launcher\launcher_card_database.cfg 

This file includes a list of cards. If you want your card listed, you can add it there. If it works for AMFP (which is newer and more up-to-date) then I think you can safely copy and replace TDD's database with AMFP's. Though, do keep a backup, just in case.

Otherwise you can manually edit the file and add your card. Under the Model Name="Geforce GT" section, add a line that says <Series Code="5??M" Rating="2" />
