so for the u series thts more on battery power, izzit advisable to juz stick to default driver?

Well, better make sure first if its really due to the driver?

well, if lets say the latest driver support physx, so can say the driver consume more power rite?

No, its not like that Windows will be utilizing the PhysX, unless you game with game support PhysX....

how can a great GPU like 335M causing problem?

^Because of Optimus?

Without proof, its all in your imagination bro. You can go back to previous driver and see if its true.. but testing condition must same.

Of course not. Always update to latest driver unless the latest driver got problem. Go to nVidia thread in Hardware. They sometimes talk about latest
driver issue.

Bad example. Haha..coz physx always supported.

For more driver info, go to here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1497927 - nVidia card

well, the reason i think like tht is bcoz the u series is optimized to hav a long battery usage, so i guess the current driver installed with it is the recommended one as maybe thts how they can achieve good battery life..

thts the logical reason i can think about, but maybe i was wrong tho...

hey guys, I bought this lappie A42JV from the previous PCFair for RM2720, comes with 10 freebies though

till now, i'm satisfied with it
I just downloaded the 258 driver thingy ..

wanted to ask about the configuration of nVidia control panel
mind to share a couple of tips how to tweak/play with it ? thanks

Well, its possible too. But did your battery consumption higher?

And also, your graphic card already have current consumption rating. They based U series on the rating of power consumption
of your graphic card. So driver won't affect the rating. Another thing is, mostly if you use only Intel Integrated Graphic, your
nVidia driver would not be in used at all....

Maybe you should check whether your card is turn on or not.

Well, the tweaking depends on you. If you want nice looking graphics, you tune up all the AA etc..
But your frame rate will suffer. And vice versa. So the best thing is you try every setting yourself
to see if without AA, it is acceptable for you. Haha

Here is the tweaking guide:

Just leave it as default is fine.. Changing it might cause some issues with ur applications also...

Unless u having difficuilties running a game with the GPU, then only u change it lar

How can you resist yourself from not tweaking the Nvidia graphic card?
That's blasphemous in this hi-tech forum

go go OC

haha not a avid computer user.... the current performance is good enough for me dy lar.. Not that I game much also..

ooo... sorry... coz I thought everyone here is computer enthusiast... me like to play computer a lot..tweaking it.. blah blah blah...

haha.. can't afford if anything bad happens since laptop is my primary computer as I study overseas lol

Well, its not overclocking... just tweaking... so won't spoil one lar wei....

well i like to tweak, but since battery life is my major concern for my notebook, i hav to sacrifice tht part tho

You should tweak it so that it'll never use nvidia graphic card

Reposting old stuff, maybe can put in first post?
