If you have an integrated and dedicated video card (common in laptops) the game may be using the wrong video card. The steps below are for creating an override for the game to force it to use the dedicated video card.

# Expand the section below for your make of video card and follow the steps

If you have an AMD card, the steps should be somewhat similar through the AMD graphics software, you'll just have to find it or google for instructions on the setup.

# In some cases Windows 10/11 will override your video card drivers. You can also follow the '''Windows 10/11 Graphics Settings''' below to also set an additional override for the game.

# You will need to restart the game and sometimes your computer

# You can also adjust any performance settings in your video card's driver settings for the game, separate from your global settings. You may need to play with various in-game and video card setting to find what works best for you

# '''Also see: [[#Poor performance with 3dfx graphics mode]]'''
