    I use my Vaio Z to game and I just noticed after a month that my FPS suddenly jump one day while settings actually got higher. It turns out that I was on HD4000 graphics instead of the dedicated even though my dock was plugged in. Is there a way to verify that dock graphics are in use and that I'm not on HD4000 when gaming? Also, is there a way to set it so that it always uses my dedicated dock graphics when I game?
