Optimus is nice if you run on battery power and need to switch to integrated graphics. But it also has a big drawback: when the GeForce GPU is running, Optimus makes the GPU send the signals to the CPU and not directly to the screen. The CPU is often slower than the GPU, resulting in lower FPS.
I've heard some ways to get around this, but what works? I'm asking in general for all laptops that are GeForce / Optius equipped.
As for my own laptop, I have uninstalled GeForce Experience, not sure if it also disabled Optimus. I always have the icon from GeForce in the system tray, not sure if it means the integrated graphics are disabled.
