    Hey guys,
    minecraft doesn't seem to white-list?
    I mean, I always have to right click and select nvidia graphics to run smoothly.
    Does the latest drivers help?
    Thanks

    I am sure if you are playing it smoothly, it is using the Nvidia card.

    Nah, the Nvidia card is off according to the GPU activity icon. Isn't 30fps okay for Minecraft? I think so.

    I Totally thought this was going to be a post asking whether he could run the game lol.

    I have the same machine as you. Game runs great. What drivers are you using. I am using the stock ones from Dell as they are the only ones that can play l4d2.
