    Good for Nvidia. They're taking the right step with teaming up with an Intel GPU instead of their buggy Hybrid SLI. Only problem is that optimus doesn't recognize the profile of a program that needs graphics muscle, it won't turn the Nvidia GPU on.

    True, you need to add applications to a profile list, unfortunate considering that PowerMizer gives you power when you need it, not because you happen to run an application that's on some list.

    Working on it. I already installed the asus n61jv video drivers on my sony cw27. I just need to expose the igp via bios to see if it'll work.
