Really, it should have been PreferPowerfulGPU=true/false, because that's why the implementation really does, according to the blogpost. Or even better, PreferGPU=high-performance/low-energy/none. "PrefersNonDefaultGPU" seem to be a very confusing name indeed.

That option doesn't guarantee that the software is using the non-default GPU even if it's set to true. I bet it's just ignored on computers that don't need it, i.e. on computers that use the more powerful graphics by default.
