So, if I don't quit/pause the client, are there going to be any conflicts, or does it just slow my games down? The only graphics-intensive (well, to this rig anyways) game I have is Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, others are along the lines of Red Faction which maxes out even on my lappy with Intel GMA w/o any lag, so...
Yup, you'll notice significant lag. When you go to play a game, definitely shut down or pause the client. I mean, try it out. On my end, I've inadvertently started games like Crysis and even CSS while running the GPU client and immediately had probs w/ lag.
