If that works with two NVIDIA cards, the PCI bus might not be fast |
| 15 |
enough. Even if it's fast enough, I have no idea how it would perform, |
| 16 |
considering that it's possible (even likely) that not both PCI slots for |
| 17 |
the graphics cards are connected to the same CPU --- however they do |
| 18 |
that on boards that have two, it might not be an issue at all or perform |
| 19 |
much worse than using a single card. |

Do you have such a setup in use? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And the docs say: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
"WARNING:You must install the Nvidia binaries in a way that will not |
| 28 |
break Mesa’s LibGL, it is needed for 3D acceleration on the Intel |
| 29 |
card. This means that on most distros you will need a Bumblebee specific |
| 30 |
package for it to run, the stock packages on most cases will break |
| 31 |
LibGL."[1] |

I do not have an Intel card. And what are these Optimus cards they |
| 35 |
mention? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Besides, IIUC this is intended for /switching between/ different |
| 38 |
cards. I do not want to switch between cards but /use both of them at |
| 39 |
the same time/. There's no point in switching between them, and |
| 40 |
apparently that would be more a disadvantage than anything else due to |
| 41 |
the overhead involved. |
