    i just installed my m14x and I got the last 280 drivers and the Black Ops is kinda slow... then i checked GTA IV and shows me 200mb inside the graphics config ... i already added both to the whitlist.

    is there anything wrong with optimus?

    I heard that the new nVidia 280.26 Driver version also fix the problem without the need of commandline, it still say the that the memory is exceed the capacity blah, blah, blah, but it work. Link: New Nvidia whql driver out today 280.26

    Oh and there's an EDIT Button, so just click it, you can edit your post, unless you want to bump the post up, otherwise use that button.
