Hi there. I have an issue with the computer in my sign.
The integrated HD4600 requires 3rd party software (from intel) and will override nvidia panel control.
Currently it is not possible to add custom resolutions + refresh rates (as you can in nvidia panel) due to HD4600 being crapp (read about it on the forums and look for resolution maximum bandwidth)
The result is that 3D applications (usling gtx 880m) only have access to the default resolutions controlled by HD4600
The end result = users can not clock their monitor settings for higher refresh rates and will be stuck at 60hz for all applications when using the integrated monitor.
This is very sad. 60hz on a gaming laptop is lol, but I realy thought I would be able to add my own resolutions. But thanks to nvidia optimus, the HD4600 card will kill this.
I would recomend you to add a feature to bypass optimus like Alienware did. If you are serious about gamers and your gaming laptops - please release an unlocked bios to disable optimus with the integraded intel GPU or just cancel Optimus in future gaming laptops.
We (gamers) do not need powersaving functionality, and when things end up like this - you feel cheated as a customer. i would have bought the Alienware r18 if I had the chance to change my mind
Regads,
Very sad panda
