    So i just purchased a HP dv6t quad edition with the help from this forum but after I purchased it, i read on a forum that there were problems with the 6770m where it does not support OpenGL and also does not properly switch between the onboard graphics card and the 6770m. Can anyone elaborate on this/confirm it as I am a bit confused and wonder if it will happen to me and also why no one pointed this out to me :(. Should I just return the laptop right away?

    I have the 6770M and havn't had any problems, what I did is when I got my laptop I right clicked on the desktop and made sure it ran the graphics card on all my games and then I also changed the AA and such to improve quality and havn't had any problems becuz every new game I install is on high performance by default and all my games run silky smooth on max.
