Hey that’s not a problem of the game but a problem of Win10.

Just found out recently myself.

To use a dedicated GPU in Win10 you have to go to the windows display settings and chose “high performance” for EVERY single program (.exe / .com) that you want to use the faster GPU for!!!

Edit: also very important: don’t run your notbook on battery but use the plug - Win10 will cut CPU and Ram Performance by half each if run on battery

That’s a common occurance when gaming on PC with multiple GPUs. Go to NVIDIA control panel\>Manage 3D settings\>ProgramSetting

Find Phoenix Point (should be there if you launched it recently, or find .exe manually) and then choose which card you want it to use.
