    I need to run a game on my nvidia dGpu (745m) at a lower then native resolution, but the display is not scaling the image up. The intel drivers have it as an option, and it is enabled and does scale lower resolutions displayed on the igpu, but it does not have an effect on the nvidia dgpu. The nvidia drivers (latest gtav set) have a stripped down control panel with 3d only controls. Anyone know how to get at the nvidia scaler options? My BIOS also didn't have any kind of options for the display.

    You don't. That's the downside of Optimus. You don't get nVidia's options. You can try and set it in Intel's settings, but that's it.

    It should work in Intel's settings. There was a bug with it a while ago but one of the Intel graphics driver updates fixed it for me.
