-====== GPU - Specify which GPU should take priority ======
-GPU-intensive applications should be rendered on the more powerful discrete card.
-If more than one GPU is install, you can specify which one should be used.

-===== Usage =====
-Use your discrete card for the applications who need it the most (for example games, 3D modellers...) by prepending the DRI_PRIME=1 environment variable:
-<code bash>
-DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
-</code>
-returns
-<code bash>
-OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TURKS
