Took me 3 months to realize that my A42Jv is using Seagate for the hard disk. Man, I wish I can change the hard disk without voiding the warranty. doh.gif

Regret lor. cry.gif

Something bad about Seagate?

Urm, I got bad experience with Seagate products, mostly the 3.5" drive. 3 of my desktop Seagate hd died within 1 year period. sad.gif

Can give the discharge rate with Intel + power saver?

Currently on power plug (i pulled out the battery). I'll let you know later.

And by intel, you mean the by using the Intel HD instead of nVidia?

I'm expecting under -10.0W for Intel HD + power saver...

As for boot time, its on the 1st post....

Means the nVidia is running? Is this in power saver? with lowest screen brightness? wifi or cable?
Because Asus decide so?

nvidia not running, on wifi, hurm, brightness... wait, i go check again.

EDIT : and lulz, the battery life keep climbing from 1 hours++ to 2 and a half hours. sweat.gif

This occurred to me just now. The nVidia's refused to kick in, leaving me with the Intel HD for the games.

Something to do with the driver? I'm using the beta driver ver. 260.63 icon_question.gif

Say, anyone tried playing Fallout : New Vegas yet on their A42Jv? unsure.gif

EDIT : copypaste from Gamers Hideout.

nvm, found the fix. those who use Optimus-driven notebook like M11x or A42jv should do some minor tweak first in order to get the .dll fix to work.



QUOTE
Step 1:
Download this .dll

http://anthonydamasco.net/out/d3d9.dll

Step 2:
Place the .dll in your “\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV” folder and then copy the file, then paste it into your “\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas” folder.

Step 3:
Open your NVIDIA Control Panel and select Fallout – New Vegas from the first dropdown menu.

Step 4:
Select “Integrated graphics” from the second dropdown menu and click “Apply” in the lower right corner of the window. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Step 5:
Launch Fallout: New Vegas and click Options in the launcher. Set the detail to Low and use the lowest screen resolution possible.

Step 6:
Now click Play, load up a save, walk to the nearest human NPC, and start a conversation. If you DO NOT notice a drop in FPS during the conversation, continue on to step 7. If you DO notice a drop in FPS during the conversation then you have followed steps 1 and 2 incorrectly.

Step 7:
Quit the game to desktop. Now open the launcher again and click Options. Your graphics adapter should now be listed as the NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS. Set the detail to your desired level, readjust your Aspect Ratio and Resolution, and exit the Options pop-up. Minimize the launcher but do not exit it.

Step 8:
Open up your NVIDIA Control Panel again. Now select the High-performance NVIDIA processor from the second dropdown menu and click “Apply” in the bottom right corner. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Step 9:
Restore the Fallout: New Vegas launcher and click Play.
