    My system config is: M17xR4, i7-3630QM cpu, Nvidia 680m graphics with 3D option.

    I heard rumours that with the 3D option, that you cannot access the HD4000 graphics from the CCPU. However, I beleive that in order to get WiDi to work, I need to be using the HD4000 graphics.



    So, does anyone with the Nvidia 680m with 3D on their M17xR4 have WiDi working? can you access the HD4000 graphics?


    If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciatted.

    nope cant use it with 3d. its bypassed at the hardware level. not sure if you can get widi working. if intel hd4000 is a requirement then it will not work.
