    Is there a stable driver for the 765m so that I can try ShadowPlay? I'm still on 311.54

    EDIT: Disregard this post. I didn't read that we needed a desktop GPU.

    EDIT 2: Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll check them out.

    I'm on 331.82, and the driver seems to work fine for me. However, ShadowPlay isn't enabled by default. Geforce Experience says it requires a desktop GPU, 600 series or higher. There might be a hack to get it to run on mobile though?

    I really would like to have shadowplay enabled for laptops, so I decided to give this a try! After looking into it and giving it several attempts I found out that it does't work on laptops with Optimus technology (RBP). It works on the Alienware laptops, the Lenovo Y500s, and a few other laptops. I wish Nvidia would just make it available for laptops already!

    The main problem is that the way Optimus works, the Intel GPU is used as the display controller, so unless Nvidia cooperates with Intel, SP won't come to laptops, unless you find out a way of using pure Nvidia (which is why it works on SLI rigs like Alienware 18 and Lenovo Y510p)

    If only there was a way to turn off the integrated graphics/optimus while gaming. I don't notice a huge hit in performance when I'm using Fraps, but it definitely isn't as streamlined as shadowplay. The real feature I'm interested in is going back and snagging footage from up to 20 min before and you don't have to be recording. It be cool to check out those moments and holy s*** did you see that moments from games.
