    If you have an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU in your computer, this is possible, otherwise please ignore the email.

    um... do NOT follow any links on that e-mail.

    If you want to see if nvidia has anything new, go directly to their site.

    Even if the e-mail is true, it might be a trick. Question, how do you think nvidia knew you had a suitable system? They don't randomly e-mail everyone just to tell them they have a new development...

    It is very possible the content of the e-mail is true enough, but the links are to infected sites or files.

    Be cautious.
