Nvidia Optimus issue

Postby samhodgkiss » Wed Aug 18, 2010 7:34 pm

Hello all,

I have a small problem thanks to Nvidia's new Optimus tecnology.

Optimus is a technology in laptops that triggers the dedicated graphics card (in my case 1 GB Nvidia geforce gt 335m) when you load a program. The idea behind it is to save battery life in laptops.

The problem i have is that Grand VJ will not trigger it and insists on running on the intel integrated graphics chipset. This becomes a an issue when trying to run Grand VJ to its full potential.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

It is not possible to force the usage of the dedicated graphics card?
And when you connect an external monitor/projector to your laptop, does it then uses the dedicated graphics card?
Thus the behavior of Grand VJ is just that it runs very slow?!

Grtz,
