    Sorry if stupid question, but I'm trying to run a piec of older software that is KNOWN to have an issue with Intel graphics.

    Is there a way to disable it via BIOS or Control Panel just for that one piece of software?

    Sorry if dumb question.

    Theres been numeroud threads about this in here buddy, you should check the new sager driver and see if it improves ur performance.
    I for one recently ordered a p150em with 7970m and am making the switch to gtx680m myself. I just dont feel like waiting a lot of time for ATI/Clevo to fix this issue with enduro.
    All the best to you
