Hi everyone, just looking at the advance setting under the performance settings area and found a tick box for Enable Optimus Graphics Compatibility.

I've looked under the help and found nothing relating to it(unless I looked in the wrong area). With that in mind can someone tell me what it is and what it's used for?

Thanks.

If your card supports Optimus, then you can turn it on.

Actually this is incorrect.
It is a legacy setting for very old Windows 8 and 7 systems with optimus due to a bug in those systems drivers.

It is hidden in vMix 23 because it should now no longer ever be enabled.

Do not ever enable hidden settings in vMix!

Thanks, I haven't enabled. I was just wondering what it was.
