According to the docs the previews (second section) are built in parallel to other actions. So lets suppose you are in darkroom mode doing stuff it would compete for the same resource (the dedicated gpu) with the previews still being made parallel. therefore I force both gpus to be unused which makes the CPU do the previews freeing my GPU to help with the stuff where I need the speed.

I hope I do the docs justice, that's how I interpreted it and also saw when running benchmarks/tests - I could be mistaken. In the docs example however they also disable the gpu in the second section, so I am fairly sure this is how it's best.

I appreciate your help! Forcing to Nvidia vs Intel accelerated significantly the speed for me.

    Thank you! This works!

    One question - is there a reason why not
    opencl_device_priority=1,!0/_1,!0_/1,!0/1,!0

    Looks like you are forcing explicitly 1 and forbidding explicitly
    0 but
    the second group you are forbidding both. Is this beneficial? why?
