Hi all, just wondering what sorts of applications benefit from the discrete Nvidia graphics option. For example, some Thinkpads come with the default Intel graphics, whereas others have Nvidia (and some have both).

I understand that the reason for having both is that the Nvidia draws more power, so you can switch between them to either optimize battery or performance.

But I'm not quite clear on which applications get a performance boost from Nvidia.

For example, I use Adobe Lightroom a fair amount, but I've been told that Nvidia won't actually speed it up much, if at all. Does that sound right?

Is Nvidia really only useful to 3d applications like games, CAD, etc? Or should it boost the performance across the board?

Thanks kindly for any advice, -Scott
