The Sonic Conundrum (Part 2)

In the first part of my Sonic Conundrum article, we discussed how Sonic was never necessarily a good game when he first started out, and how the critical acclaim he received for his classic games was somewhat undeserved.  If you would like to read the first part, you can find it Here.

The Sonic Conundrum (Part 1)

Ah, Sonic, one of the most beloved video game characters of all time.

Saying that Sonic has fallen from his 'previous glory' would indicate that his games were actually good at some point, right?  So this presents the question:  Were Sonic's games ever good?

So, I was experiencing low FPS while playing Firewatch.  Sadly, I only found out the solution to my problem after I finished the game.  But, lucky for you, I now have the solution and I have made for your convenience a short visual tutorial on how to fix it!

On my computer, Firewatch was using the integrated graphics card instead of the dedicated Nvidia card to process graphics.  This will show you how to switch to using your dedicated Nvidia card for any of you less techy individuals.
