[osg-users] Setting OpenGL and graphics card settings prgrammatically?

[Chris Hanson]

  As you are aware, drivers like the NVidia Windows driver have a variety
of tuneable settings accessible through the vendor-specific setting
application. Many times these accomplish things that can't be accessed
through the standard OpenGL APIs or extensions.

  Is there any way to force settings (like use of dedicated GPU versus
integrated GPU) from application code via an API?

  Basically, we're trying to avoid having to teach the untrained user how
to mess with those settings when we know the preferred settings for the
application.

  Interested in NVidia and optionally AMD, Windows primarily but
cross-platform APIs are welcomed.

  I'm digging into this:
https://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/index.html#gameworkslibrary/coresdk/gsa_api.htm

  to see if it does what I want, but welcome input from others.
