This Optimus-technology is a fucking load of crap. After countless days I finally were able to force my games to use the dGPU instead of the Intel-shit, but problems keep popping up. Sometimes it will just randomly switch over to the Intel-chip when there's not much to render (ie looking at a wall) and it will start giving me insane fps drops for the next couple of seconds or even minutes.

I'm sick of waiting for a fix. I hope I can sell this laptop to some idiot for a decent price. FU NVIDIA!

Maybe someone here can help me out, as I've gotten no help anywhere else. Optimus IS NOT switching from integrated to my 540M for anything. Nothing appears in the GPU activity monitor for games, HD youtube videos, etc. Absolutely nothing. Even when I click "Run with High Performance Processor" it doesn't switch. What is going on? One day it just started doing this and it is friggin ridiculous. All my games lag now.

I did find a fix for computer keep on using INTEL HD crap while I was playing Flight Simulator X. All you had to do was make all GPUs awake by going to screen resolution -> Detect -> choose one says your nvidia g-card on either new grey monitors then Apply. Again, press the one you just added, press extend desktop or w/e it was and apply and yes, your graphics card will always be in use but the annoying thing is mouse keep goes over the border on either left or right. Idk how to stop the mouse.

Having big problems getting my acer laptop nvidia 540m and Intel HD 3000 to work with 3d vision. It seems there are a lot of problems with optimus and 3d. What a waste of money....

This is the worst shit ever! Optimus only works for some games and it really gets me pissed!

I got a perfect fix for switching to nvidia gt540m.Under preferred graphics card,just choose High-performance Nvidia processor.And if that dosen't work.Go to desktop,check add run with graphics processor to context menu.Then right click a game that you want to play,select NVIDIA Gt540m.

Oh ya... None of this worked... My flight Simulator still has terrible graphics even after doing all that stuff. I'm really pissed off Nvidia. 

[TheWarmplate]

I was expecting great graphics with the GeForce card but optimus doesn't allow me to change over, extremely disappointed with you guys right now. Until you guys fix this situation, I don't suggest anyone buy any optimus graphics cards cause it doesn't work.
