Advanced Nvidia Optimus setting for performance enhancement - video tutorial

Hi friends, in this video tutorial we will talk about Nvidia Optimus technology and how to make the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel in order to get maximum performance for graphics intensive applications and games.
Nvidia Optimus is a technology with which we can use a chip integrated graphics and a dedicated (only on supported devices), they are used depending on the application, desktop and office is used PGI's and gaming and graphics 3D used dedicated GPU.
In theory Nvidia Optimus is something super hard for laptops / tablets for their autonomy, in real life things do not go as well as paper and we can wake up in timplu a game with decreases frame rate very high Nvidia Optimus feels like it's time to do something about the economy.
To force the use of graphics dedicated just need to make some settings in the Nvidia Control Panel and ready, we can rest assured, we will be sure to be used exclusively dedicated graphics, which for now is far more powerful than integrated solutions from Intel I HAVE D.
Careful:
If you choose to use exclusively dedicated graphics you can use your laptop on battery power for a much shorter period autonomy will drop drastically because Nvidia chips consume a lot of energy.

  1. Cristi Hello! I wanted to tell you that you may have a problem with the functioning of Optimus technology. I have an Acer 5750G with i5 2410M and 540M GT video card and put me on auto-select and Professional 3DMARK06 put everything on auto-select, I open my program displays the functions at the dedicated video card. I think he might be the video card driver. Good luck

    Perhaps it is a problem in Windows 8 64 or graphics on Ivy Bridge, however it is a problem and not only in my presence. Maybe Nvidia Optimus decided that 3DMark06 can start with Intel HD graphics 4000

    • I don't think it's from 3DMark06 because I have the same version as you and it's not from Windows 8 x64 either because I still have it… only that I have Intel HD 3000 graphics… it's possible that there is a small bag on the driver video as otherwise I can not explain… I also gave a benchmark out of curiosity and I got 8576 points with the settings on the car (in which case it runs on GT 540M) and 3566 when I forced the software to go on integrated graphics… quite well I say considering that I have had my laptop for 1 year and a half, on the Sandy Bridge platform.

  3. Hello.

    I want to know if I'm allowed I download video tutorials on your site, for use personal.ideea is, whenever you uplodati a tutorial I can pull him tracing some reason it automat.dintr the best option for me.
    thank you.

    I ahizitionat this laptop http://www.emag.ro/laptop-asus-k55vj-sx095d-cu-procesor-intel-coretm-i5-3210m-2-50ghz-ivy-bridge-8gb-750gb-nvidia-geforce-gt635m-2gb-free-dos-k55vj-sx095d-8gb/pd/E0KMNBBBM/?ref=thx_facebook and Optimus technology works on windows x 8 64.

    Perhaps you did not understand the idea of ​​the tutorial, Nvidia Optimus works, the problem is that it is inclined more towards economy and when you want to play at maximum quality have to do setting the tutorial because it is possible that sometimes you decrease the frame rate because he (nVIDIA Optimus) graphics power needs analyzes and make changes between graphics chips all the time, even while you play.
    It was very nice if work exclusively on gpu when he starts with, unfortunately it is not so.
    Today I noticed that not only in games there this bug / behavior, and Adobe Premiere do the same, feels the timeline, you use an effect (eg sharpening) has a lag to enter the gpu. Like the games should be used when setting 100% use a dedicated processor.
    Besides this technology it is perfect and your laptop is moving well.

    • I've never had a frame rate drop in any game… it works for me like this: it analyzes the software I want to open and gives it the graphics chip that it considers to be sufficient… that is, I didn't happen to have any changes between chips while running something… it only happened to me when I start an older game to work on the integrated board making it quite weak, and in this situation being forced to manually assign to that software the chip of the dedicated board… to me at least nvidia optimus works flawlessly…

  5. I ordered this laptop for a colleague http://www.pcgarage.ro/notebook-laptop/lenovo/ideapad-y570-core-i7-2670qm-22ghz-4gb-750gb-geforce-gt555m-2gb-black/ and it comes to me that his games are not going well (jerky). I reinstalled windows, drivers, etc. and nothing else. I thought it would be a weak video card, although it wasn't. IT HAD AN NVIDIA BOARD ACTIVATION BUTTON. :))))) so read the manual carefully. I have an ASUS but I have an LED that tells me which board works (blue - integrated, white - dedicated)
    Windows is installed on both 7.

I reintalat, drivers etc and nothing all jerky. I thought I would be weak video card although it was not. HAVE A NVIDIA motherboard activation button. :) )))) So read the fine manual. I have an ASUS but I am an LED that indicates which card works (blue - integrated, dedicated white)

    Very interesting, I think is a better approach.

  7. Cristi how you proceed with your laptop battery if you want to use on the job of removing the battery incaracat full destkop?

    Cristi how you proceed with your laptop battery if you want to use on the job of removing the battery incaracat full destkop?

    I believe this fairy tale who removed the battery was at least tone-deaf.
    The battery after charging is no longer used as long as your laptop is connected to the network, so it's like you keep it in the drawer.
    Which would be why would anyone want to remove the battery from the laptop?
    That ultrabooks with how to remove the battery?
    No longer do all sorts of maneuvers like this, a laptop computer breaks down much faster than a desktop if subjected to electric shocks or sudden power outages.
    Try to have made use of logic.

    Thanks for raspuns.Nu lack quality audio is the problem, the computer is online 24 / 24, but no matter.

  11. I say to me which is the best antivirus in 2013

    • at the moment it is said that the Romanians from BitDefender would be the best in the world… if you are interested in a free license valid for one year for BitDefender Internet Security 2013, enter yoda.ro and see that on January 23, 24, 25 you can download a free license only between 15pm and 16pm. I say take advantage if it's still FREE. Good luck

  12. I quote Adrian from videotutorial.ro: "the best antivirus is the one that sits on the PC keyboard"

  13. Cristi, the structure of partitions to you? MBR or GPT? I would like more details on 6 4 WIndows sites bits bootable install from the stick or the DVD?

  14. A similar software is VirtuMVP.

  15. Cristi-admin: I think this tale who pulled the battery was at least dumb.
    The battery after charging is no longer used as long as your laptop is connected to the network, so it's like you keep it in the drawer.
    Which would be why would anyone want to remove the battery from the laptop?

    I was wondering if you sit in leptop battery more laptop heat can not spoil over time.??

    I have encountered this type of error and when trying to run different games, I searched for solutions on the internet and all I could find was that it would be a problem as I have all updates to date, so we made the all in vain. I have an Asus Windows K53SJ 8 64 the bits and antivirus Bitdefender Total Security 2013, I must say that those from Asus have all the necessary drivers for. Windows 8 so many drivers use them on Windows I 7. I hope I was clear enough and maybe you can tell me how I can solve this problem.
    Thank you

    Cristi Hello!
    I'd like to buy a laptop brand Lenovo. But I noticed in discussions on some forums that these laptops would have a problem with the BIOS. After installing an operating system (whatever it may be) can not enter the BIOS. Can you share some information about the new bios, and this Lenovo laptop brands?
    Thank you.

    I have installed Windows 8 and can smoothly enter bios, perhaps those who have problems have no idea what they do.
    If you google "lenovo problems", that's all you'll find.

    Hello Cristi and I have the same problem I have an acer 5742g with NVIDIA gt540 M and Intel HD integrated card when I install the program before you hitting on video CPUID had a box that I could choose between the integrated and dedicated video card now I only appear in Device Manager not only that I have a dedicated video card honestly do not know how many bits go on my video card.

  20. Hi. all respect for you guys do a wonderful job… I also have a lenovo g580 (model 2189) I want to know dak has a dedicated video card nvidia geforce, I tried to install the drivers in your tutorial but it gives me an error "nvidia installer cannot continue" "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware" I tried very carefully to install the correct driver. At the "dxdiag" command in the "run" it tells me that I have the intel (R) HD Graphics card, I must also mention that I do not have the NVIDIA Control Panel command. please help me… ms much

    Please I play Mr. Cristi to tell my program that displays the CPU temperature, so that I know these three, two and one looks almost as much as the other two displays: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24zm15v&s=6 . Say the temperature of your laptop's processor to mine the 2 as programs that show them worry about me. And by the way I can return them if the temperature drops to say in 10 days, hence I bought: http://www.pcgarage.ro/notebook-laptop/asus/k55dr-sx088d-amd-quad-core-a10-4600m-23ghz-4gb-750gb-radeon-hd-7470-1gb/ . And another thing keeping hand side vent holes and is almost as cold as in the other hand, is hot but very little. Please answer me and thank you.

  22. Thank you!
    I have a XFX GTX 260 which has Optimus Technology. Virtu MVP does not work.
    How can I unplug the video card "on the go" for power saving?
    Thank you in advance.
    Happy holidays!

  23. Hi, I have an LP like yours as I followed your settings above I do not work when I enter 3DMark06 I see the HD Graphics video card and I am a gamer who plays a lot and I would like your help ! THANK YOU !
