has anyone encountered any problems with Optimus when running certain games or 3d applications such as 3dsmax, maya and photoshop ?

like is it possible to turn Optimus off in Asus laptops ? Just doing some research guys, hope you guys dont mind helping out. So disappointed with my amd/ati radeon-equipped hp dv6 so opting for a Nvidia card for my openGL softwares. so Im being extra-careful/prepared..thanks

thanks for that springfall...so you do use maya/max/photoshop with the nvidia 540 and it doesnt pose a problem huh? Have you encountered any memory leaks ?

Optimus is one of the best thing Nvidia came out with  thumbup.gif , because of Optimus i can archieve 5hrs +++++
So far, for me la....no problem. Sometime when play some games ex. NFS, optimus set the GPU to be Intel and not Nvidia....but all that can be set using the Nvidia Control Panel.

There's no way you can turn off Optimus....the only way to use Nvidia the whole time is by changing the Global Settings. This is not recommended if your on Battery.

oh right..thanks for the clarification. on the nvidia forums ( http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showforum=211 ) , a few are experiencing issues with games with the Optimus technology and coincidentally too onasus laptops ..and theres a section/thread on nvidia/optimus with Autodesk softwares like 3dsmax and maya

on a sidenote, the N series in Malaysia doesnt come with FULL HD huh? cause on the notebookreview forum, some with the N i7 series have FULL HD on their laptops

ah, thanks springfall. What's your asus laptop model ? Im new to all these mobile graphics card...so is the 550gt better than the 540 ? or lower the number the better? cant be right lol

550 is better than 540 cuz higher clock rates
555 is better than 550 cuz ^ ramclock, and core clock
im using n53sn i7, 4 gb ram, which is always full..
western countries hav the lux of having bluray n fulhd..
we asians hav hd n dvd super combo.
soofar the only prob now is the bottleneck for my HDD.. hdd cannot load stuff soo the speed is not utelised to max. finding a cheap ssd or 7200

ah thanks springfall, lee that was very helpful

will there be like an updated version of the N series coming out soon if anyone has heard anything? just wondering, in case I get the n53sv soon , I wouldnt want to feel like I wasted my money when an updated version is just round the corner

dun get the freebies they offer.....unless it's ram

There's a new version of series coming out soon. Most prob around september....or maybe earlier.
Google up N55SF.....you might not like the design compared to N53S....but the specs are waay better compared to N53SV...or the speaker might be better too.  thumbup.gif

ah thanks for that Trance..I went to digital mall after work just now, apparently N53SV i7 all sold out/out of stock...apparently its obsolete...yeesh..i guess ill wait for the n55sf...hopefully the price range will be around the same, but youre right...the design compared to the N53SV is......not as cool. haha

rickycheang : yup, PC EXPO at PWTC
