    Hello!
    So I purchased a 3d vision BenQ monitor and dual link DVI cable hoping to take advantage of Nvidia 3d vision but I found out that since the DVI port is set to use the IGPU instead of the Nvidia by default this is impossible. However I have read that most laptops have a switch in the bios to disable optimus but ours does not. My question is this: is there a way, through software or modded bios, to disable optimus? I'm attaching the original bios if anyone wants to take a crack at adding/unlocking this functionality.
