I use a setup with a 15Inch Macbook Retina running Windows 10 with a discrete GT 650M and for the Oculus I use a GTX 1080 Thunderbolt eGPU. So my setup has two Videocards.
Applications and games like, The Climb, Project Cars 3, Adr1ft, Pinball FX 2VR and Oculus Video do not work with this setup because of the dual videocards.
The normal solution would be to disconnect the monitor from the not used discrete GT 650M HDMI output but since its a laptop this is not possible.
I would think there has to be an easy software solution to this problem? Something that checks which videocard to use or ask the user at startup.
Running the monitor from a different card than the Rift has been known to cause problems in some VR apps. How about plugging an external monitor into the GTX 1080? Then you should be able to switch off the laptop screen and set the external monitor as the primary screen through the Nvidia control panel.
Thanks for your suggestion I have already tried that but it seems that even turning of the laptop display or disabling the video card in the device manager tree does not help. So I hope maybe in the future that you can choose a card yourself that the Oculus applications should ignore or prefer. Or maybe a simple hack that does the trick.
