@wwwgeekdotcom i think you are pretty wrong .. u need to disable the intergrrated graphic.

[wwwgeekdotcom]

@jegkanlidepizza This was correct at the time. The BIOS has been updated in the past year though, so maybe something was changed?

Your video helped me!  I was pissed when all I was showing was my 9400 M. I was able to play FF XIV because of your fix!

@KouichiKimura341 awesome! thanks for the comment.

Thank you for uploading this video. My M17x recently had the same problem, and now I don't have to hire a technician :)

I was so disapointed when my m17x could only run crysis on medium until I found this video and realized I had yet to use my graphics cards :D it now run at 16aa all settings to very high at 60 fps...basically thanks

i bought this laptop almost a year ago now. im not sure why, but my bios setup is different from the one your video shows. i have a whole new catagory called "power" and i couldnt find the option for graphic settings anywhere. is there another way to enable hybrid graphics?

I run two 5870s on my Alienware R2, and over an entire year, I've never gotten great performance on any game other than old games and TF2...

I can barely run Crysis on low, can barely run BF3 on low, can barely run Metro 2033 on low...

My video cards show up in the device manager, and I can't get to the BIOS submenu in the video...

Hey man was just wondering if you had a solution to the problem im having. Everytime i try to download the latest drivers for the GTX260M graphics card in my laptop, the drivers will download but when i try to instal them it says the drivers are incompatible with my machine, i triple checked to make sure i was downloading the right ones but im not having any luck.

any suggestions would be great, thanks :)

i think my computer is slowing down because i used to play games on high graphics and now it lags on low

i dont know whats going on

[305abnormal]

[N0T0RIUSBURRIT0]

HOMEFRONT RUNS QUICKER. THANK YOU! I had no idea had more than one graphics card.

@wwwgeekdotcom i have a question on the r3. if it comes with a 2630qm i7 processor... do you think i should upgrade to the 2720qm? will i see a big difference when surfing the web and all that?

[jegkanlidepizza]

@wwwgeekdotcom yeah i think..
