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 Games will automatically use the DGPU As long as they are launched with switcheroo Steam and Lutris both do this automatically via their desktop file That is a feature of both KDE and GNOME

So For MW2 2009 Since I use a community mod Iw4X How would I get it to use the actual GPU

If it's launched via steam or Lutris it's automatic If it's not, correct that mistake instead

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

If you're using a bash script you can add switcherooctl launch before the command

Figured it out I just ran winetricks with Mw2 2009 prefix I had set already On iw4x's exe Nevermind

Well that confirms for me that this is a standard wine setup Please use Lutris I will not support any other option for this That gets you your GPU solution with no further headache And does this the right way

Welp can't get it work with Lutris I'll have to look for other solution for community server support
