How to get nVidia Optimus working on games.

Some games don't use optimus? Here's a very easy fix!
INFO:
If you do not know the .exe of the game: you have to firstly launch the game normally. Then minimize it, open the task manager (ctrl+alt+del or ctrl+shift+esc).
Go to processes, click on 'Memory' to sort it. Your game should be using the most memory. Right click on it, open file location.

@NewEra64100 Optimus does work with all games, you just might need to adjust these settings for some games.

@coldrain27 There is an easy way to manually activate your graphics card.. Email me to yuikris(at)msn.com and I will tell you how..

This doesnt work if you have an gt540m and you want to play skyrim... Trust me i tried everything and nothing works. Please bethesda make a patch that fix the problem..

To make this work in linux you have to get a special software called bumblebee and type optirun ./foogame to make it work
