GeForce and DaVinci Resolve

CPW21

Hi,

I have a Huawei matebook and use Davinci Resolve for editing videos. When setting up the laptop Geforce experience was preloaded but needed to be activated. I did this and downloaded Davinci and it worked. Since then I've had numerous times where either Davinci or Geforce would have an update and afterwards I'd get an error message about Davinci not being able to run and to make sure I've selected discrete gpu.

I've watched videos online on how to fix this as it seems a common problem but all of the videos have the user opening Geforce and clicking 3 dots and changing from game driver to studio driver. My Geforce doesn't have that option, when I click the three dots it only offers to search for available updates. I've tried downloading studio drivers from Nvidia but every time I do they won't run because they aren't compatible with my device.

I'm wondering has anyone had the same issue and know of a fix or does anyone know of an alternative driver I could download to use?

Thanks

The choice of GPU is an OS level thing, and not chosen by the nVidia drivers. And the matebook has both an nVidia GPU, and the Intel UHD graphics, according to the Huawei page.

Check this for how to set the GPU per program:
