Have the requirements gone up?

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

My laptop is quite old, one of the last ones without Optimus - Clevo P150HM

Since both glxinfo and Dolphin seem to be using your dedicated GPU, I'm not sure what's wrong… does the __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 environment variable help?

It does not: I tried

Code:

$ __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 dolphin-emu

as well as

Code:

$ LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 dolphin-emu

But this has no impact on the performance. We still use all extensions

Ah, too bad, otherwise it could have been easy.
