[CLIENT] New (beta) client uses the wrong video card by default on laptops with Optimus.
Pretty sure I posted this in the wrong section, so I'm reposting it here.
I don't know if the new beta client (NOT THE GAME) is heavily intensive on the GPU or not. Judging by the amount of lag during specific things, however (eg: champion picks/bans in champ select) I'm going to guess it's using a lot of GPU rather than CPU. On machines with Optimus it is using the integrated card by default, and NOT the Nvidia card. I assume this is a bug, and that it SHOULD be using the Nvidia card by default?
The actual game already uses optimus correctly, and defaults to the Nvidia card. The legacy client also uses optimus correctly, and defaults to the Nvidia card.
Adding the new client manually in my Nvidia control panel works (but it doesn't for most games!), but since the folder changes every patch, this might break with each patch unless I do it manually every time.
FYI: this is pretty major. Most people complaining "the new client runs like shit" might be complaining because they use a laptop with 2 video cards, and your shitty client is using the wrong one. MIGHT wanna fix this while it's still in beta, yeah?
