Bazzite choosing to use IGPU over using my actual GPU

Hello, i'm new to bazzite, not new to linux mind you since I've used Ubuntu And Mint before, i'm planning on transinition to windows with Bazzite but slight problem, when I go to info center it's state's the graphics hardware is my CPU's Intergrated graphics rather than my GPU's. Is there a way to change this and force it to use my actual gpu globally, so far I was able to get a steam launch command for it, but problem with that is I have games that are not in steam that I would like to use my actual GPU with

My Bazzite installation is Bazzite KDE with Nivida Drivers

CPU: I7-4700
GPU: GTX 1050TI

Anyone got a clue or am I stuck?

I do technically use my igpu for my 2nd monitor since I am partial space limited case wise, running a Optiplex 7020 SFF over here

Your IGP is your default, that's correct

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:38 PM

Games will automatically use the DGPU

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:39 PM

As long as they are launched with switcheroo

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:39 PM

Steam and Lutris both do this automatically via their desktop file

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:39 PM

That is a feature of both KDE and GNOME

For MW2 2009

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 8:46 PM

Since I use a community mod Iw4X

How would I get it to use the actual GPU

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:49 PM

If it's launched via steam or Lutris it's automatic

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:49 PM

If it's not, correct that mistake instead

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 8:49 PM

It's not

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 8:50 PM

I'll check just in case but I think it just doesn't launch with how it's set up

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:53 PM

If you're using a bash script you can add

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 8:53 PM

switcherooctl launchswitcherooctl launch before the command

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 8:59 PM

Figured it out

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 9:00 PM

I just ran winetricks with Mw2 2009 prefix I had set already

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 9:00 PM

On iw4x's exe

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 9:02 PM

Nevermind

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 9:04 PM

Well that confirms for me that this is a standard wine setup

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 9:04 PM

Please use Lutris

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 9:04 PM

I will not support any other option for this

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 9:04 PM

That gets you your GPU solution with no further headache

Kyle Gospo•1/16/25, 9:04 PM

And does this the right way

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 10:37 PM

Welp can't get it work with Lutris

Doom_DwellerOP•1/16/25, 10:37 PM

I'll have to look for other solution for community server support
