    I am only getting 10 FPS on CoD4:MW on 1280x720 with most effects on. :mad: anyone else have this problem after installing the new PhysX drivers? It was working fine earlier

    huh, it is because Optimus isn't turning the nvidia card on :confused:

    Update: BioShock doesn't turn on the nvidia card either and i was just playing that game earlier today. weird

    Yup, you should be getting at least 40 fps max res for cod4 cuz I'm was getting about 40-50 fps on mw2, try adding the games to the 335m profile in nvidia control panel

    Try restoring the default setting in the optimus control panel then add the game again. This sorted out any issues I had aftert the new physics driver install. COD4 runs like a dream :cool:

    If your refering to being able to switch from dedicated to integrated, it was posted it another thread that its not possible because of the processor which has the integrated graphics compared with the r1 which has integrated graphics in the chipset of the mobo.
