    Hi all i got a dell xps 17 l701x

    I5-560
    Nvidia geforce 435m optimus ( 290,53 beta driver atm went up from 266.58)
    8 gb
    1 80gb ssd
    1 500gb hdd
    screen 1600x900 max at that time

    Now when i start to play a game ( mostly Aion) it wont use my graf card but the tie onbaord one, giving me on lower settings 10/20 fps, now i just had a friend over telling me that wasnt correct and that you can force a prog to use the nvidia card,

    so i looked up google and found a few answers on that, right click program icon and pick what graf card to use, or goto nvidia control panel and setup the program you want to use the graf card for,,, they all didnt work,

    I picked up my laptop and put in near the tv and plugged in the hdmi cable and i got instant nvidia use loaded up aion on instant nvidia also doubled the frame rate ( and it seemd to auto detect the setting then so the settings was alot beter )

    so it seems my nvidia card doesnt like to be used on the laptop screen, whats wrong whit it, and can any of you guys please help me,???
