Silent Hunter 3 vs. Nvidia Optimus

Sorry I have to raise this thread from the dead, but wondering if Kpt Hess was able to get the Optimus technolgy to work again for SH3.

I have the same problem, I am running Nvidia 306.97 (latest release) drivers on my Acer 4830TG with Intel 3000 HD integrated graphics and the Nvidia GT 540M gpu. It will not run on the Nvidi gpu no matter what I do.

I used Nvidia control panel to set the Nvidia processor as the preferred processor for Silent Hunter III, it still does not use it.

The game will run on the Intel graphics, and I have very good framerates, but colors get wonky and there are some weird artifacts onscreen.

I am using the widescreen_GWX3.0 mod.
