You're facing an issue where Star Citizen appears stretched on your 16:9 screen even when running at 800x600 resolution. The problem seems to stem from how the game handles aspect ratios, possibly due to its default settings or display configuration. Since you're using an external monitor via HDMI, adjusting the game's settings directly might not resolve it. Consider checking if the game supports custom scaling options or if there are any known bugs related to your display setup.

Use the VGA control tools such as Catalyst or Nvidia control panel.

All the information you provided comes from Intel. Nvidia has nothing to share on that topic.

Only by adjusting it to the proper resolution can we proceed.

You might consider adjusting the resolution to 960x540, which provides a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Nope, 1024x768 is the next size up, maintaining a 4:3 aspect ratio, but beyond that it becomes too large for me to handle.

Additionally, I attempted to execute SC after adjusting it to a 4:3 aspect ratio in Intel's Panel settings, but SC completely disregarded those changes and proceeded as usual.

You might need to adjust the settings in the configuration file to achieve widescreen resolution. Always save a copy before making changes.

Your laptop might be using the Intel graphics instead of the NVIDIA card, which could affect performance. I recall seeing some discussions about forcing a different setup, but I can't recall the exact source. There are also many user.cfg files that may improve performance. Regarding the aspect ratio, I'm not sure how to set it since the game is still in its early stages and hasn't been fully optimized yet.

I remember when I could navigate the hanger @medium@ at medium resolution without any issues. But soon after the social module was added, performance took a big hit. Now it's smoother after version 2.1, though still just as good. I also noticed it's using an Nvidia GPU while the game itself relied on integrated graphics. That was frustrating. *blushes* Oh my god, this has been a nightmare. For some reason, the launcher was configured to use the Nvidia GPU, even though the actual game was running on integrated graphics. The shame is real... *thinks*
