    I have a

    M11xR2 from Dell (AW)
    Intel i7
    4gb Ram
    Win7 Ult.
    Nvidia 335m ver.160.66 // DirectX10

    I've already checked a ton of Forums about Optimus and M11xr2, and I wouldnt bother to start a thread if i didnt checked other formus and threads.
    I usualy got good performance but since a fresh install of Windows I can't get that performance back on track.

    I DID :
    -Upgrade/Downgrade the driver
    -Check if Nvidia kicks in ( it does )
    -Tried Whitelist
    -Use overall high performace in the panel
    -Activate PhysX

    Basicaly I get VERY poor performance and low FPS on old game like the first MassEffect and newer games like MOHonor hitting the 20 and lower on action.


    Any suggestion, Help, ideas ?

    First off make sure you are not in POWER SAVER or BALANCED power plan. Be in HIGH PERFORMANCE when gaming.
    Second
    Go here: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...erviceTag=&SystemID=ALW_M11XR2&os=W764&osl=EN
    Download video drivers
    This is how you can properly remove your old ones to make sure theres no issues and install the new ones:
