    my laptop has switchable graphics between intel 4500xx and nvidia 130m video "cards"

    nvidia's drivers only support the 130m, and the stock hybrid drivers are ooooold...



    does anyone know were I can get an updated driver that still supports switchable graphics?



    EDIT: ran a 3dmark06 between just the 130m, and the hybrid in "performance" mode
    8064 and 6994 :eek:

    after a little experimentation, my 3dmark06 scores went down by 1000 by going from win7 64bit to win7 32bit on 4gb of ram :confused:
