Description
CPU: Intel i7-6700HQ
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 530, Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M
Tested with:
- Planet Coaster
- Hitman 2
In Proton 4.11-8, for DirectX 11 games, I can no longer select the dedicated GPU in my computer. In Proton 4.11-7, from the graphics settings the games I tried, I could select either the Intel or Nvidia GPU, but in 4.11-8 only the Intel GPU is selectable. I am running with PRIME Render Offload as described here: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/435.17/README/primerenderoffload.html

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Planet Coaster or Hitman 2 under Proton 4.11-8 and compare the graphics settings with Proton 4.11-7, using PRIME Render Offload as described in the linked NVIDIA documentation. Done means the dedicated Nvidia GPU is selectable again for DirectX 11 games.
