    There is not a MUX in the G750 so you are not able to manually disable the Intel GPU.

    Yup exactly.. Only the Alienware laptops have this option to disable Optimus usually.. And SLI Clevo laptops I believe...

    That will load any detected programs to run on the nvidia GPU, it will still run through the optimus setup though as that's the only way to get a display output.

    On battery it will reduce your battery life and it will increase your power consumption a bit. It's not dangerous though. It will only help performance if the game is not detected properly by optimus.

    No I don't think so, but you could flip the global switch when you would like.
