Hi,
i recently bought Lenovo Legion 7 (2021).
During Lenovo Legion 2021 Event Q&A, Lenovo and Nvidia engineers said that Advanced Optimus is built in in all AMD Legions for 2021. Take a look at 1:29:10:
However in my Legion 7 (5800H, RTX 3060) Nvidia Control Panel shows that Advanced Optimus is not supported. I have as well Legion 5 2021 (5800H, RTX 3060) and in this laptop Advanced Optimus is supported and works as it should - i don't have to restart laptop to turn off hybrid mode and turn on dGPU directly connected to display.
I know that Legion 7 and 5 Pro have different display (2560x1600px, 165Hz, 500 nits) than Legion 5, but Legion 7i / 5i Pro (Intel) have same panel (2560x1600px, 165Hz, 500 nits) and support Advanced Optimus!
Does anyone else have similar problem? Is there any way to get Lenovo to keep its promise and add support for Advanced Optimus in Legion 7 / 5 Pro?
Do you think flashing VBIOS from Legion 7i could bring Advanced Optimus to Legion 7?

Yes, Legion 7 has mux but after few days with Legion 5 with working Advanced Optimus I think that AO is way more convenient than turning on and off dGPU mode that needs to restart -
