There is a way to request the DGPU being used: Right-click on an application, "Edit Application...", go to 'Application' tab, go to "Advanced options", check "Run using dedicated graphics card". Admittedly this isn't very discoverable, but IMHO it makes more sense to have it this way since you likely want that application to always use the DGPU instead of doing the special right click thing every time. That said I don't think the current implementation works with the proprietary Nvidia driver, but that's a somewhat different issue Not only is the current method not very discoveable, it's also not very useful for the valid use cases where you want to run an app using the dGPU just this one time, either to test whether it works better than the iGPU, or to debug a problem or graphical glitch. Ideally we need both: a permanent method to say "I always want this app run using GPU X" and also a temporary override. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 392523 *** |
