Hello,
Let's start off by saying that I deeply regret buying an optimus system: a Lenovo Y50 with intel's 4600 igpu + optimus nvidia 860m.
My main problem with it is that by design, the i4600 gpu can't be disabled, and that every image is processed through it.
So far, the main problem I've had:
- Some games can't play fullscreen (Dragon Age Inquisition)
- The HDMI port is wired to intel's gpu so I can't play in stereoscopic 3D on my HDTV.
- GPU autoswitching seems random. Chrome gets no acceleration / Internet explorer works perfectly (urgh!). Decoding 4K content is always a hit and miss, and I can never tell which gpu is used (intel or nvidia).
All my drivers are up to date. So my only question is:
Are these issues fixable by drivers updates in the future, or are they just design flaws (no 3D over hdmi).
Bonus question: what is this weird intru3D thing from intel?? It mentions 3D gaming but I can't seem to understand what it really is...
Thank you for any insightful answer.
