    I noticed this control panel option from another user here. First I've ever seen manual switchable graphics in a Clevo based notebook. What models support this?

    All P6xxRx Skylake models except for the P640RE have MS-Hybrid/dGPU muxx/gear option in BIOS (requires reboot). HotKey is an alternative interface to trigger it in the EC.
    (And no it's a hardware thing and can't be added to other systems through BIOS mods). ;)
    Main reason was NVIDIA's push for g-sync, which requires a direct dGPU to screen connection.
    Another point are the VR headsets which can't handle the latencies generated by MS-Hybrid/Optimus switching.
