Have the requirements gone up?

Quote:On this laptop the iGPU is not wired so it cannot be this.

what do you mean by saying that ? Afaik , there is no way you can disable iGPU on a laptop. That is how Nvidia mobile GPU works (Nvidia Optimus)
If a discrete card was always on , your laptop wouldn't even last 30 minutes
There are some rare top of the line gaming laptops that have a switch to turn on and off iGPU , most laptops don't have such an option like that
On Windows, you can force a program to run with either iGPU or discrete GPU via Nvidia Control Panel . I don't think you can find it on Linux though
btw, you can try other backend like Vulkan
