  • Godot gives me vulkan gpu error (Laptop with RTX 3050TI)

I want to try out Godot and I am getting below error.

My gpu is supported.

I use Vulkan in Unreal engine and in other applications. I am very confused on why this is happening.

    Apparently your laptop is trying to run Godot on the CPU video core. Set RTX 3050TI to run the engine in NVidia's panel settings.

      You might have to update your Nvidia drivers. Also, be sure in the Nvidia config panel under 3D settings that you select High Performance GPU.

      Hello, you can launch Godot launching engine with --rendering-driver opengl3 parameter, for example:
      C:\Godot_v4.1.2.exe --rendering-driver opengl3

      If you launched a project and not run, you can change compatibiliy (on up-rigt corner)

      Beginning with Windows 10 20H1, the Windows OS assigns the graphics processor to use for various applications, and overrides any settings made in the NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Preferred graphics processor setting for that application.

      I just ran into this issue with a customer. If you have Win10 20H1 or later, the NVidia control panel setting for which GPU to use is ignored, in favor of the Window's Control Panel setting.
