3.2.5.3 Dynamic Scheme UI
On designs where the dynamic scheme is supported, an application profile add/
update capability will be provided to allow users to select (on a per application basis)
whether a Direct 3D/OpenGL application or video player should start on the fGPU/
iGPU or dGPU. Users will be able to set up such a profile by selecting the application
executable file from a list of most recently used applications or by browsing through
the file directory.
Although user profile settings are retained through system reboots, the list of recently
run applications will be lost with each reboot.
The following figures are examples of application profile updates.
