QUOTE(e_mc_square @ May 18 2015, 05:47 PM) I don't think you can switch dgpu mode and optimus mode just like that without reinstalling the driver. If you know how to mode inf. look at the device ID. optimus and dgpu both have different device ID even if the card is same. oh this part is easy hehe goto techinferno.com, find j95 and read his signature lol! oh they have different device id? maybe that's why. i'm sure with that modded .inf optimus+880m works fine (no sign of sudden drop of fps yet). note that the installation went well when i ran the modded geforce installer in dgpu mode.

Yes, both mode will have different device id. So, if u changed from optimus to dgpu or vice versa, you'll need to reinstall driver with modded inf which based on current device id.

But base on what I read online. Yes, you can get significant performance during gaming. If you use GTX 980 or Titan X with graphics amplifier. The PCIE 4.0 interface is a 3rd generation. The performance lost of using GTX 980 during testing is about 5% Of course If you only play Minesweeper you won't see any improvement.

If you look at the bang of bucks, GTX 970m is definitely higher than GTX 980m.
