Running bevy on an NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M

[viol8or-alba]

Had a quick search of the Q&A and couldn't find anything! Anyway, just started looking at using bevy and fallen at the first hurdle. I don't seem to be able to get the examples to run (not actually tried all of them). Tried the sprite and sprite_sheet examples. Both will display the app window and then panic. My laptop is pretty old and has an nVidia GeForce GT 635M which appears to be unsupported (using DX12 backend on Windows 10):

2023-10-11T21:38:44.414752Z  WARN bevy_pbr::ssao: ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionPlugin not loaded. GPU lacks support: Limits::max_storage_textures_per_shader_stage is less than 5.

Am I deluding myself trying to use this ~10 year old laptop? Do I need to get off my bum and fetch something more up to date..?

That is a warning, SSAO is not a required rendering feature.

That actually makes me feel better...

Hmm, I should've pasted the whole output:

If it helps anyone, exception in the debugger:

This is from a call to

        profiling::scope!("IDXGISwapchain3::Present");

in wgpu_hal/src/dx12/mod.rs: 891

As an unhelpful aside, this machine has two video cards: embedded and discrete. The embedded (Intel) GPU works fine (on linux). Is there a way to force GPU selection?

[viol8or-alba]

Interestingly this works fine in wsl using the wayland backend and the nVidia linux driver.
