It's basically cpu scaling but for the graphics card. It saves power but its not well supported in linux (apparently - I have no issues).

- kiloaper 15y agoNope. This is Optimus: http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html. Nvidia have said they have no plans to support it under Linux officially which really sucks. I ended up returning a laptop because of it.
- kamechan 15y agoIIRC, there's an option to compile optimus support into newer linux kernels. I'm just using a intel HD3000 card so i've not tried it myself. unfortunately, Ubuntu doesn't have the friendliest policy towards custom kernel compilation, so you might have to "break the rules" or look elsewhere.
