    Default Nvidia Optimus and the Low Quality Render ?

    I have a laptop equipped with 2 GPU's, one of them is an integrated intel GPU, and the other one is a medium-quality nvidia GPU.

    I've found no way to disable the low quality render, is there a way to do this ? I'm guessing that it detects an intel GPU and refuses to turn itself off but the game is running on the nvidia GPU.

    it sounds to me like your optimus is not working right (one of my biggest complaints about optimus is the lack of manual switching). Do you have the latest Nvidia optimus drivers? (I think the 266.58 are the optimus ones)

    I have the 189.79 version, I just checked on the nvidia site and it seems to be the latest one for it. (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/optim...nology_uk.html brings you to it). There is manual switching available, you can select which apps have to use the nvidia card in the nvidia control panel. (Rift is included there). It doesn't seem to be working for rift .. though.

    It works fine for WoW, EVE as well as the other games I play.

    189 is very not the most recent
