Win10/Win11 Graphics Settings - Offload some CPU work to the GPU

Post#1 » Wed Jan 26, 2022 1:43 pm

1. Search for "Graphics settings" in Windows
2. In the Custom options for apps window, select Browse under the "Add an app" dropdown.
3. Create 1 setting for WAR.exe (32 bit) and/or 1 for WAR-64.exe (64 bit)
4. For each setting you created, click on Options, select your GPU, and hit save

I haven't done extensive testing with this yet, but I am now able to run the game on high settings (I mean it's actually playable in large fights) if I choose. I noticed that my GPU utilization went from 0% to around 30% while playing RoR.

This is because you have an Intel integrated card and WAR was using that over your dedicated GPU.

It's AMD but your statement is true enough. Unfortunately, I can't fix the mislabeled title (Should have said APU) -- but I doubt I'm the only one with that issue. Hopefully it can help someone.
