Bug Description

The game always selects the default system GPU to render to.

This is a significant problem with notebooks that have an integrated weak GPU besides a dedicated strong GPU. The game runs on the integrated weak GPU and has bad performance. The strong GPU is unused.

We need to improve the GPU selection in this game. It needs to prefer the strong GPU for better performance.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Start game on notebook with 2 GPU's

The weak GPU is used for rendering.
