While that does come with the benefits of the platform\u2019s capabilities, it also exposes the game to all the potential vulnerabilities that come with it. One such issue is the game using your integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one.\u00a0 The PC version of the God of War (2018) sequel gives you access to tons of fresh features, like Ultra-widescreen (21:9) and Super ultra-widescreen (32:9) support, unlocked frame rates at 1440p and 4k resolutions, as well as modding support. But reviews on Steam have been \u201cmixed\u201d since its release, which was primarily due to the game asking for a PSN account.\u00a0 Many players, however, are now reporting that the game doesn't use their dedicated or main graphics card when they play, instead using the integrated GPU built into their processor. Here\u2019s how to fix this issue. God of War Ragnarok PC: What to do when the game doesn\u2019t use your dedicated GPU? Ensure your dedicated GPU is enabled First and foremost, make sure your dedicated GPU is enabled. If it isn\u2019t, games and applications that require it won\u2019t have any other choice but to use the integrated graphics from your CPU. Here\u2019s how to enable your dedicated GPU for God of War Ragnarok: Navigate to the Settings window on your PC. Click on \u201cDisplay\u201d in the column on the left-hand side. Scroll down to the bottom in the Display window and select \u201cGraphics settings.\u201d Under Graphics Performance preference, you\u2019ll see \u201cchoose an app to set preference.\u201d Click on the drop-down menu and make sure it\u2019s set to \u201cDesktop app.\u201d Click on \u201cBrowse.\u201d Search for God of War Ragnarok. Add the game\u2019s executable (.exe) file to the list. Click on \u201cOptions.\u201d Select \u201cHigh Performance,\u201d and make sure your dedicated or main GPU is listed below this option. Click on \u201cSave\u201d and you\u2019re done. If you\u2019re on Windows 11, you\u2019ll need to look for the \u201cGaming\u201d tab instead of the \u201cDisplay\u201d tab, after which you\u2019ll select \u201cGame Mode\u201d and then \u201cGraphics.\u201d Then, you\u2019ll arrive at a page where all your apps are listed. If God of War Ragnarok isn\u2019t among them, add it and proceed the same way as with the Windows 10 settings above. Disable your integrated GPU You can avoid conflicts between your dedicated and integrated GPUs by disabling the IGPU. This can free some resources and force your PC to solely run off of your primary graphics card. There are two ways to do this: Using Device Manager\u00a0 Navigate to \u201cDevice Manager.\u201d\u00a0 Click on \u201cDisplay Adaptors.\u201d Right-click on your integrated GPU. Select \u201cDisable device.\u201d Click on \u201cYes.\u201d Restart your PC and you\u2019re good to go. Using BIOS Access your BIOS setup by restarting your PC or laptop and pressing the BIOS key. This can be Delete or F2, and, for some HP systems, Escape. Go to the \u201cAdvanced\u201d tab. Search for \u201cinternal\u201d or \u201cintegrated graphics\u201d and disable that option. The layout of and access to the BIOS often varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but these steps should be similar to what's required to disable your IGPU.\u00a0 Update your GPU drivers Graphics card driver updates are often crafted to support the latest games, and running outdated drivers can result in errors like this one. So, remember to check for any updates for your GPU. You can use Radeon software if you own an AMD graphics card, while Geforce Experience is your friend if you\u2019re an Nvidia user. Download the \u2018VRAM Requirement Bypass\u2019 mod The primary reason behind God of War Ragnarok not using your dedicated GPU is that it has a minimum VRAM requirement of 6 GB or, precisely, 5888 MB. This causes it to ignore any GPU with under 6 GB VRAM, and thus the integrated GPU takes over.\u00a0 The reasons listed above are great for troubleshooting this issue if your GPU meets or exceeds the VRAM requirement. But if your GPU has less than 6 GB of VRAM, you can use a mod to bypass the restriction. The mod will also get rid of the \u201cInsufficient VRAM\u201d error that crashes the game. The mod is aptly named \u201cVRAM Requirement Bypass,\u201d and you can find it on the popular modding website, nexusmods. Disclaimer: While Nexusmods is used by PC players all around the world, it\u2019s still a third-party website. So, anything downloaded from there comes at the cost of your hardware and privacy. Be sure to scan any downloaded file to be safe by right-clicking on it and selecting \"Scan with Microsoft Defender.\" If you feel something's wrong, run a full scan of your system. After enjoying its status as a PlayStation exclusive for almost two years, God of War Ragnarok has officially been released for Windows. This brings in a huge batch of players, including seasoned veterans who have beaten the game on a PS4 or PS5 and fans on PC who have never had a chance to play it. Whether you're an old or new player, be sure to try out these steps if your copy of the game doesn\u2019t detect your dedicated GPU.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gow-ragnarok-kratos.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2605"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348107"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348524,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348107\/revisions\/1348524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1348456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

While that does come with the benefits of the platform\u2019s capabilities, it also exposes the game to all the potential vulnerabilities that come with it. One such issue is the game using your integrated GPU instead of the dedicated one.\u00a0 The PC version of the God of War (2018) sequel gives you access to tons of fresh features, like Ultra-widescreen (21:9) and Super ultra-widescreen (32:9) support, unlocked frame rates at 1440p and 4k resolutions, as well as modding support. But reviews on Steam have been \u201cmixed\u201d since its release, which was primarily due to the game asking for a PSN account.\u00a0 Many players, however, are now reporting that the game doesn't use their dedicated or main graphics card when they play, instead using the integrated GPU built into their processor. Here\u2019s how to fix this issue. God of War Ragnarok PC: What to do when the game doesn\u2019t use your dedicated GPU? Ensure your dedicated GPU is enabled First and foremost, make sure your dedicated GPU is enabled. If it isn\u2019t, games and applications that require it won\u2019t have any other choice but to use the integrated graphics from your CPU. Here\u2019s how to enable your dedicated GPU for God of War Ragnarok: Navigate to the Settings window on your PC. Click on \u201cDisplay\u201d in the column on the left-hand side. Scroll down to the bottom in the Display window and select \u201cGraphics settings.\u201d Under Graphics Performance preference, you\u2019ll see \u201cchoose an app to set preference.\u201d Click on the drop-down menu and make sure it\u2019s set to \u201cDesktop app.\u201d Click on \u201cBrowse.\u201d Search for God of War Ragnarok. Add the game\u2019s executable (.exe) file to the list. Click on \u201cOptions.\u201d Select \u201cHigh Performance,\u201d and make sure your dedicated or main GPU is listed below this option. Click on \u201cSave\u201d and you\u2019re done. If you\u2019re on Windows 11, you\u2019ll need to look for the \u201cGaming\u201d tab instead of the \u201cDisplay\u201d tab, after which you\u2019ll select \u201cGame Mode\u201d and then \u201cGraphics.\u201d Then, you\u2019ll arrive at a page where all your apps are listed. If God of War Ragnarok isn\u2019t among them, add it and proceed the same way as with the Windows 10 settings above. Disable your integrated GPU You can avoid conflicts between your dedicated and integrated GPUs by disabling the IGPU. This can free some resources and force your PC to solely run off of your primary graphics card. There are two ways to do this: Using Device Manager\u00a0 Navigate to \u201cDevice Manager.\u201d\u00a0 Click on \u201cDisplay Adaptors.\u201d Right-click on your integrated GPU. Select \u201cDisable device.\u201d Click on \u201cYes.\u201d Restart your PC and you\u2019re good to go. Using BIOS Access your BIOS setup by restarting your PC or laptop and pressing the BIOS key. This can be Delete or F2, and, for some HP systems, Escape. Go to the \u201cAdvanced\u201d tab. Search for \u201cinternal\u201d or \u201cintegrated graphics\u201d and disable that option. The layout of and access to the BIOS often varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but these steps should be similar to what's required to disable your IGPU.\u00a0 Update your GPU drivers Graphics card driver updates are often crafted to support the latest games, and running outdated drivers can result in errors like this one. So, remember to check for any updates for your GPU. You can use Radeon software if you own an AMD graphics card, while Geforce Experience is your friend if you\u2019re an Nvidia user. Download the \u2018VRAM Requirement Bypass\u2019 mod The primary reason behind God of War Ragnarok not using your dedicated GPU is that it has a minimum VRAM requirement of 6 GB or, precisely, 5888 MB. This causes it to ignore any GPU with under 6 GB VRAM, and thus the integrated GPU takes over.\u00a0 The reasons listed above are great for troubleshooting this issue if your GPU meets or exceeds the VRAM requirement. But if your GPU has less than 6 GB of VRAM, you can use a mod to bypass the restriction. The mod will also get rid of the \u201cInsufficient VRAM\u201d error that crashes the game. The mod is aptly named \u201cVRAM Requirement Bypass,\u201d and you can find it on the popular modding website, nexusmods. Disclaimer: While Nexusmods is used by PC players all around the world, it\u2019s still a third-party website. So, anything downloaded from there comes at the cost of your hardware and privacy. Be sure to scan any downloaded file to be safe by right-clicking on it and selecting \"Scan with Microsoft Defender.\" If you feel something's wrong, run a full scan of your system. After enjoying its status as a PlayStation exclusive for almost two years, God of War Ragnarok has officially been released for Windows. This brings in a huge batch of players, including seasoned veterans who have beaten the game on a PS4 or PS5 and fans on PC who have never had a chance to play it. Whether you're an old or new player, be sure to try out these steps if your copy of the game doesn\u2019t detect your dedicated GPU.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/gow-ragnarok-kratos.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2605"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348107"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348524,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348107\/revisions\/1348524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1348456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348107"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
