    Is there a way to set which GPU should handle the Boot screen of OS X ?

    Hi all :) Is there a way to set which GPU should handle the Boot screen of OS X ? I want my ATI Radeon 5870 not to be the GPU which handles the Boot screen of OS X. Rather I'd like to have my ATI Radeon 2600 XT handle the Boot screen ;) Regards !

    Finally upgraded my ageing MacBook Air mid-2011 to a brand new rMBP 2015 15", the higher-end 2.5ghz model with AMD discrete graphics (gave up on waiting for the 2016 rMBP refresh/redesign and have always been a bit circumspect about buying first-generation new models anyway).
