SC 2 always choose old nvidia gpu instead RX 6800 AMD one

Hello,

I have an issue with Stracraft 2 to use my AMD RX 6800. Actually, I did buy a new AMD RX 6800 but I still have my old nvidia 1060 in the computer connected to my second monitor. I have no issue with other games (including overwatch for example) that always choose my AMD RX 6800 to launch but SC2 is always choosing the old nvidia one whatever the manipulation I did.

If I uninstall the nvidia drivers, sc2 use AMD GPU. But when I reinstall them I have the same issue. It seems like SC2 always choose the nvidia GPU whatever the situation.

Is there a ways to force the game to use my AMD GPU?

Could you help with this issue.?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Maybe disabling the nvidia in the device manager?

If this is a desktop then the game is using whatever GPU the monitor it is displaying on is connected to. This may or may not match up with what the in-game option screen reports.

To be honest I would remove the 1060, your 6800 is far more than capable of running both of your monitors and mixing amd and nvidia drivers just adds complication to the whole process. It can absolutely cause the type of display confusion and prioritization you are seeing.
