Minecraft GPU Problem

[Settblack]

Hey guys, I have quite a problem with Minecraft. I have a gaming laptop that has 2 gpu’s, one integrated and one dedicated. The dedicated one is an AMD graphics card. Now I have noticed that my laptop for Minecraft always uses the integrated GPU, which is not designed for such applications at all. I have now tried all sorts of tips on how to solve this problem: new graphics drivers, Javaw.exe set to high performance in the graphics settings (all unsuccessful), then I simply deactivated the integrated GPU in the device manager, so that my laptop permanently uses the dedicated one. When I start Minecraft now, I get the error message: opengl error 65542. Then I tested numerous tutorials on yt on how to install Open GL manually. All without success. Maybe someone still has ideas.

There should also be a setting under Windows for changing the gpu for individual programs.
Settings>System>Display>Graphics settings, then classic app or MS app depending on whether it is a MS program or third party & then choose the specific program>Options, then choose the gpu.

Sorry but you have post on a tech forum asking for help but have provided zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

If in need of genuine help please provide the requested information so that helpers are able to assist.

Ok. It’s an older Acer nitro 5 upgraded to 32gb ddr4 ram, an amd ryzen 5 3550 H , integrated AMD radeon Vega 8 Graphics, dedicated Radeon RX 560X 4gb V Ram.

Don’t forget - we need those reports from post #2.

Also, while we wait, did you try disabling the inbuilt GPU from BIOS?

[Settblack]

Doing the reports today. Also, as written in my original post, I disabled the integrated GPU in device Manager, to force Minecraft to run with the dedicated one, which then caused the error. Is there a difference when I deactivated the gpu in Bios? Also, as far as I experienced, Acer bios is pretty much useless.

Sorry, I was really busy today, so I probably won’t be able to run the tools today. I’m pretty shure I have enough time tomorrow.

When you reinstalled the drivers did you do a clean install with DDU?

Where did you source the drivers from, was it Acer or AMD?

[Settblack]

From AMD. The AMD installation program asked me if I want to delete the old drivers, and I clicked yes, if that is what u mean by DDU?

[Pyro]

Run DDU and download a fresh graphics driver installer from here.

An important note: You MUST download the driver executable and disconnect your computer from the internet before running DDU, otherwise Windows will automatically download drivers (which you don’t want).

Once you have ran DDU in safe mode, boot up into a normal Windows session (ensuring that you aren’t connected to the internet for even a moment) and run the installer.

Restart your computer from the power menu and see if this helps.

Please post the results of the Speccy and MiniToolBox when you get a chance.

Thank you, I’ll try it. Also with speccy and minitoolbox I’m not shure if a want to publish it, because they reveal valid personal data like my IP as well. Is there a way to disable this?

And the same goes for minitoolbox?

Yes. These are not your actual IP address. No one can identify you via these logs.
