Can't select OpenCL card in Fusion Free?

Am I right in understanding that I can't select the OpenCL card to use in Fusion free version? I'm on a MacBook Pro Retina with integrated Intel card and an Nvidia GPU, but in the preferences it has the Intel one selected and it seems you can't switch to the Nvidia one unless you have the Studio version?

I think this is bit cheeky of BMD as most laptops have both integrated and dedicated GPU... Was hoping Fusion free version wasn't quite as nerfed as this.. more like Resolve vs Resolve Studio (though I have Studio). My transition from AE has hit a bit of a wall...

If you uninstall the Intel openly drivers you can get around this. I agree it's one of the stranger limitations.

Hmmm, how do you do this in OS X?

You might the free gfxcardstatus app. It will let you set which gfx card you want to use instead of auto switching.

I just hopped in to post almost the same question. I have a windows 10 laptop with a Quadro Optimus setup, and Fusion will only let me use the intel chip.

Is this a limitation or an oversight? Because if it's a limitation it's a really bad one. I understand limiting the free users to just one GPU, but limiting them to Intel graphics only if they are on a laptop?? That's a bit... dare I say.... mean?

I know I can disable Optimus and it will work. But we shouldn't have to do that. Making users purposefully gimp their laptops doesn't really benefit Black Magic in any good way that I can think of.

If I was using a macbook pro you would have just made my week. I expect this bit of info will make a lot of people very happy. Thanks for sharing!

I've been using that app now for few years and it's great. Unfortunately it doesn't work with Fusion. As in, even if you force use discrete card only with gfxCardStatus, Fusion still forces to the Intel one..
