[Gaming NB] NVIDIA Advanced Optimus Introduction
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is an evolution of NVIDIA Optimus. NVIDIA Advanced Optimus improves upon the original by introducing a hardware-based dynamic display switch (DDS) that allows GeForce GPUs to directly control the display, rather than routing via the IGP. Bypassing integrated graphics increases game performance, reduces system latency when gaming, and enables the use of G-SYNC variable refresh rate displays, improving users' experiences.
Enable Dynamic Display Switch (DDS)
Before enable DDS, please launch Armory Crate application to modify [GPU Power Saving] to [Standard] mode.
Then In NVIDIA Control Panel, please reach [Manage Display mode] in [3D Settings], and apply [Automatic Select] in [Display Mode] for Dynamic Display Switch enable.
Notice: When Armoury Crate application [GPU Power Saving] is under [Eco Mode] or [Ultimate] mode, it is unable to launch [Automatic Select] under Manage Display Mode or launch NVIDIA Control Panel.
Disable Dynamic Display Switch (DDS)
In NVIDIA Control Panel, once reach [Manage Display mode] in [3D Settings] and apply [Optimus] mode, the Dynamic Display Switch will be disable.
