    Seriously a BIg negative for me. Ive become very used to it on my desktop. Having just recieved my M11x and tossing an Agility 2 SSd in and setting it up with all the new drivers and such I notice NO DIGITAL VIBRANCE setting.

    Please tell me Im just missing something...

    Intel Control Center->Intel HD Graphics -> Color Enhancement-> Saturation and also Media ->Saturation. I believe it's the same thing as Digital Vibrance

    I have never seen the digital vibrance on any optimus drivers that I have tried yet on the R2. You can add it through the intel graphics control panel however, using the color saturation bar.

    HOWEVER, when you load a game that uses the GPU it removes the intel vibrance setting and goes back to bland colors. Once you quit the game it will reapply the intel settings. I already made this post before that it is lame there is no way to add digital vibrance to an app that uses the GPU, or none that I know of. This optimus thing is like getting 1/2 of the video card.

    please note that nvidia is only doing the acceleration. for optimus certain modules are being remove. so things like digital vibrance does not exist for optimus. such control are in Intel HD (if there is one)

    Really? I set the intel to black and white then fired up team fortress 2 and it was still still black and white. I have probably changed my drivers since then though.

    Not sure about that, it doesnt carry over on WoW for me with the drivers I am using. Also, if you connect it to an external display the saturation in the Intel control panel is no longer available.

    Yup, setting saturation to 0 (black and white) on the intel options carries over to the 335m on my m11xr2 with latest verde beta drivers. So that's good!
