After my computer BSOD'd last night I woke up to Destiny unable to run properly. I am not sure why but it is using my integrated GPU. I talked to friend and have him help me to find this out since I don't know computers too well but I am unable to play the game like this. I changed the setting in windows settings System > Display > Graphics to use the correct GPU but it still isn't working. I moved the game to a different drive, verified the integrity of the files and made sure in AMD that Destiny is using my correct GPU, but no solutions. Can anyone help me?

2 RepliesHello there, Thanks for the report. This sounds like the game is binding to the wrong GPU after the crash, not like your whole PC suddenly became too weak. Bungie’s PC troubleshooting notes specifically mention Destiny 2 on Steam defaulting to the integrated GPU in some cases. Since you already changed the Windows Graphics setting, the next useful check is to confirm what GPU destiny2.exe is actually using in Task Manager → Details → GPU engine. Bungie’s internal troubleshooting steps recommend that exact check to verify whether the override actually took effect. If it still shows the integrated GPU there, the recommended fix path is: set destiny2.exe to High performance in Windows Graphics Settings set the preferred graphics processor to the high-performance dedicated GPU in the driver control panel relaunch and re-check the GPU engine in Task Manager If this is a laptop or hybrid-GPU setup, Bungie’s troubleshooting notes also mention that display routing can matter, and in some cases the app may still pick the integrated GPU depending on which display is primary or how the monitor is connected. Since this started right after a BSOD, if the settings still refuse to stick even after that, I’d suspect the crash knocked your graphics driver/config into a bad state rather than this being a Destiny-only gameplay bug.
