Hi everyone, I am feeling very confused as I have a new Legion 5 pro and when I launch certain games, it freezes for a few seconds and I note that it creates a new display. I don't want this happening.

I have nvidia control panel set to auto select, when I switch to optimus every app works perfectly and the 3070ti is activated for gaming.

Is it OK to leave it on the optimus setting? I don't get why auto select some games freeze for a few seconds and then it creates a new display.

There is also a RTX only option. Not sure what to select. Cheers!
