    I remember reading in a review that Dell had worked out a method to display whether nvidia or intel was handling graphics.

    I just launched SC2 and nothing and realized I didnt see anything like that, is it something we have to download... or active?

    Thanks in advance

    Nevermind, I figured it out.

    for anybody thats interested in knowing what their optimus using GPU is doing; open up the Nvidia Control Panel -> "view" -> "Display GPU Activity in Notification Area"

    and for the record... engadget was the one that mentioned this ability
