Hi Martins,
Just this morning I started testing on one of these laptops (Dell
XPS17). By adding a profile for the specific .exe I wanted to run, I got
the Nvidia graphics to kick in for our OSG application. I have not yet
found a way for that card to start automatically with OpenGL apps.
Which version of the drivers are you using?
I'm using 280.26 from nVidia's site, and even creating a profile and
setting that profile to run on "High-performance NVIDIA Processor"
didn't work for me. Even if I tried to force it to the discrete graphics
globally (in the "Global Settings" instead of "Program Settings" where
you create a profile) didn't work either. The only thing that worked for
me was forcing it in the BIOS.
That's something that should work, and I guess it might be a bug in my
version of the nVidia control panel. Still, if we could just have the
app tell the driver that it needs discrete graphics, instead of having
to make a profile for *each* app, on *each* laptop, that would be better.
I've written to nVidia to see if they have some more info about this.
Thanks,
J-S
