I’m trying to get my MSI GS63VR set up before tomorrow. I think I have all my apps, and I tried out rust. I have a nice 6GB 1060 (MaxQ?) so I figured I’d see if it was detecting properly.
Well, the game ran on the Iris 530, not the 1060. Granted, that Iris is more capable than I thought it would be, but I’d still like to use muh 1060.
I don’t know much about nvidia. I’ve used cards in the past, but my only experience with a nvidia laptop was my G50VT-X5. and the 9800MGS is the only card in there. And any GPU switching I’ve dealt with on AMD just worked. No fiddling.
I understand theres Bumblebee and Primus. I think I have PRIME installed, so whats the difference in PRIME and Primus? Am I going to see my 1060 as a 3G? I remember that being a thing for a short time. Are the GUI’s for graphics switching? Is there a way to just disable my intel GPU in OS? Theres nothing in BIOS, I checked.
Is there a way to “create another screen” and switch my laptop display between them, having the 1060 pointed at the other “screen”. I remember that being a thing you could do, being the way I used my Y40-70. Except with that you actually have another monitor plugged in, really the hard part is the screen switching I guess.
Or, do I just run windows and linux separate and call is good? I’d rather not if I can help it, but I realize that what I’m doing isn’t the norm either.
Anyways, thanks for the help!
