I got myself a new fancy latpop to run my MMO on
this MMO is running in DX8 i believe ( aybe ven dx7)
The crappy optimus system does not recognise the software so it does not kick on the dGPU so isnted only the IGPU get used.
Entering the .exe file into the nvida driver and selecting to only use the nvidia dGPU did not improve anything.

I believe I can use dgvoodoo for this but was hoping to fix it more directly if anyone has a suggestion.


I know for sure my next laptop I will avoid this crap
 
If you don't care about retaining the optimus functionality, does your machine have an option in the bios to always use the nvidia gpu?
 
You may be able to just disable the intel GPU in device manager. I have not tried this recently, but it used to work on Windows 7 machines.
 
Yeah, Optimus is mostly junk but when it works it does actually save power.
