When I open a webplayer in my notebook, which incorporates the Intel chipset and an NVIDIA gfx board, it always starts using the Intel chipset and performance is… well, poor to say it cleanly.
I also tried to open the browser using the option to launch it with the NVIDIA board (just right click and there’s the option, can be used with any program), but it doesn’t work.
So, is there a way to turn around this?
Also, shouldn’t this be considered well and build the webplayer so it takes advantage of good gfx boards instead than using the slow one that is used by for desktop?
This problem affects not only the webplayer but also the editor.
I solved the editor by using the NVIDIA control panel, but when i click play performances fall down again (30000 triangles 15 fps…).
Does Unity create a temporary app when I run the simulation? If so, how can I solve this?
it does not create a temporary app, the play environment is only an own thread. but it will run both editor and game in parallel which might be too much for the box (that or the driver decides that the new 3d context is best handled by the other gpu)
Uhmmm I guess the only solution is to set up the GENERAL OPTION to use only the NVIDIA chipset… which sucks a lot of battery grrrrr…
Does it offer energy profiles so you could switch through the systray between them or alike? (never had such a hybrid solution luckily, beside the one in my mbp 2011 but there it all happens on a layer far below drivers that fuck it up ;))
Well I think the idea is good: if you only browse and make office work, you save battery if you use the integrated chipset.
I just checked and unluckily the NVIDIA tray icon does not allow a direct switch between the modes: I have to open the CP and set it from there and… I think I also need to restart the system… going to check it right now, because the switch didn’t work on the simulation from inside the editor.
I think I’ll probably just let it on NVIDIA chipset 
Thank you for help anyway
