Thread: iPhone 4s FOR THE WIN!

I know, Baldrick- I was just kidding about Squiggles- when the laptop (and the wife) get back home on Saturday I will play around with it.

Unnecessary- after ranting and raving about how it's the worst power-consumption system ever devised and telling me I basically threw my money away, Squiggles will tell me how to set it up.

Optimus is a pain in the ass.

But at the end of the day, if the laptop does everything you need well, then Who cares really.

On some laptops Optimus works, others it doesn't. Most I would say. Google "Optimus not working" and you'll see. Pretty much my issue. It uses the intel HD graphics and completely ignores the Ngivia card. Doesn't matter which settings or which drivers.

Mine works only when I use a CUDA program. Because the Intel HD of the Corei5 has DirectX10 and Open GL drivers, the computer just always uses that one. And there's nothing you can do about it. If you disable that, or remove the intel driver and out a standard VGA driver then the Nvidia stops working also. The way the chipset is built the information always passers through the intel first.

Anyway. Bottom line is, my laptop does everything I need, so I don't care. I don't play games anyway.

But, looking into the future, Nvidia and Radeon have a lot to worry. Processors are getting more powerful, better, smaller, more efficient, and judging by the tests for the Intel HD 4000 so far, graphics are improving dramatically, so eventual, the processor will do both, and will be able to handle gaming.

I think this is the way it's going anyway.
