    Hi. I have bought ASUS N55SF unaware, that I get this ing optimus thing, and I am running out of patience. Yes, performance is great and most of the games are working great, greater than I expected, but some games simply dont work. For example Skyrim, 1366x768, FXAA, 2xAA, medium shadow and everything else on max, average 35 FPS, nice. But I cant get to work FXAA injector because it uses its own d3d9.dll and optimus doesent recognize that as program worth to run with dedicated card and trigger crappy integrated card and games is not playable. There is no option in BIOS to turn optimus off. I cant even run Sonic Generations. Anyone any solution?

    PS: Sorry for my crappy english, but on forum of my region, no activity at all.

    yes for skyrim to play properly u should get latest 290 beta one for improvement. and optimus sucks it recognizes only those games and use the nvidia power but for other games it doesn't even use the gpu even after choosing it to run under high performance. for ex- ragnarok online it uses the integrated only.
