QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Mar 2 2010, 01:36 AM) 2 hours with Nvidia GPU or Intel GMA? 2 hours on intel New battery?  My s42 is about a year old. But i hardly use the battery (normally just bring charger only). but i've been charging it once a week to keep it from degrading. |

oh well, i went back to Nautis's drivers.
Hey guys can i check one more thing? for those using the S42, under increased performance mode, does your intel GPU show alongside with the Nvidia one in device manager? Or does it just show the Nvidia one? cause both are turned on in mine  This post has been edited by assmonk3y: Mar 2 2010, 02:38 PM |

Thinking whether i should try going back to the official BenQ, then switch over to the 195.62... hais... Dox drivers? i had some problems with them on my 64bit win 7 s42. cant switch GPUs properly. once i switched to the intel gpu i couldnt switch back to nvidia. do let me know if you have that probAdded on March 25, 2010, 5:09 amusing 187.45 now, when i switch to 195.62 (again) will update, but miahahaha, or anybody with S42, remember how to install the 195.62? cause i have tried using the installer (which failed) tried manually installing (failed) so can't think of anything else. |
