Macs have a similar issue. Unexpected programs activate the dedicated GPU. Skype and twitter used to do this. Power users run special utilities to force the dedicated GPU off, but the normal user has no idea that his Mac battery won't last.
In my PC the programs raising the resolution are gtalk, chrome and skype. I run visual studio and sql server but they don't show up in powercfg.
quartz.dll is from DirectShow. A multimedia component is expected to requiere more resolution. The fault is in the program calling into DirectShow.
