Some systems manage both the Integrated GPU and a Discrete GPU to maintain performance while saving power. Steam and other games have figured out how to run the game on the dGPU while leaving the occasional desktop updates to the iGPU. Though this is an unusual configuration, it would be nice if FAH could do the same.

See https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=30815

A simple set of instructions is probably enough if there's a way for the Donor to support it himself but I don't see how to do that. Can an argument be passed to the CoreWriappen?

In general this should not be a problem for FAH.
I believe most setups like that are an either or proposition. Since the iGPU and dGPU are connected to the same display I don't think that is possible. You wouldn't save much power anyway as the WU would use all the power of the dGPU.
iGPUs don't have enough horsepower for folding in general and thus aren't in the gpu list.
