    Hey guys, I just got a Z540 a week ago and I must say, this is one sexy, sexy beast. I cannot be happier with this laptop

    That is, until today when I got Spore (the game) . Ran it on Speed mode- which as you know uses the Nvidia 9300 GPU - and performance was quite mediocre. Interestingly, when I ran on Stamina mode with the integrated GPU, the game ran smoother!

    Does anybody know what the problem might be? System info does show the proper Graphics cards for each mode.

    I appreciate your help
