You likely need to force the Nvidia card via the Nvidia Control Panel explicitly

also post a dxdiag

Thanks for repsonse.
DxDiag file (now) attached.
Have forced to use the Nvidia card via the control panel.
Got slight improvement by disabling vertical sync but still awful.

So you did explicitly set the ck3.exe to use the nvidia card? occassioanlly setting the 'global' option doesnt work

Does the behavior change if you launch the ck3.exe directly?

 

[lewis3142]

yes nvidia set globally and explicitly for ck3.
Launching directly seems to help a little some.
Now with mediumish graphic settings and no vsync I'm mostly fps=14, with periods of fps=20-30.
Don't know if its significant but pop-up menus seem to really hit the fps.
