Hey everyone,

Firstly I want to say that programs like gfxcardstatus that shows when the gpu switches and lets you force it to use either integrated or dedicated nvidia is awesome!

But I am wondering if there is a way to set up profiles for particular programs? so that you in theory can force the integrated gpu (which is more than enough to handle flash video etc) instead of having osX switch to the dedicated when medium heavy applications is started?

in an ideal world I would be able to run purely on the Intel4000 until I start a program where I have setup a profile telling it to use the nvidia gpu.

Anyway, just wants to know if anyone know of any programs or ways?

Cheers
