    Hello,

    I just set up my system today and I am already noticing some improved performance in SWTOR in therms of framerate. That being said, I can't find Optimus settings in my Nvidia Control Panel as expected. Optimus worked with the built in graphics (NVS 2000m and HD3000).

    At this point, I have my 2 24" monitors being run from the card and my on board laptops screen running with the Intel card (lid is shut though, so it isn't being used.) Idealy, I would like optimus enabled for the packet compression benefits... any ideas as to what I need to do?

    Machine details:
    - Intel Core i7 2760QM (Sandy Bridge)
    - 16.0gb DDR3 RAM
    - 256gb Crucial M4 SSD

    Thank you,
    Wes
