Using the computer

Using NVIDIA graphics more efficiently

(optional)

NVIDIA Optimus is a function that enables automatic selection

and usage of the internal or external graphics chipsets depending

on the currently running software.
For example, the internal graphics chipset can be used for

Internet surfing or word processing to minimize battery power

consumption and the high-performance external graphics graphic

chipset can be used for gaming or video processing to deliver a

more realistic experience.

The NVIDIA Optimus model supports Windows 8 only.

This function is only available in models that support the

NVIDIA Optimus technology.
