Hi All

I am having an issue with the optimus technology within the driver for my Nvidia 630m. I have pointed all of my games that need it; to use the Nvidia processor instead of the Intel 4000 series.

When I start the games the in game config menus show that the processor running is the HD4000. I have the latest drivers for both chips installed. I also installed the Intel ones first as forums suggest.

The games are running but they should be using the chip specified in the Nvidia control panel. Any ideas please?

I have checked dxdiag but it only shows the intel hd. I downloaded gpu-z and that shows both processors. Having searched extensively this afternoon I can see this was also a windows 7 issue, but I can not find a slolution.

My Specs are Intel I7-3610qm

Can you turn off Optimus in BIOS and run discrete graphics always for a test?
