M11xR2/R3 - NVidia Optimus Issues/Whitelisting Problems

[hondalife]

So I recieved my M11x-R2 today. First two games I tried to install were Fallout 3 and The Witcher. However, it appears that neither game wants to work with Optimus. Fallout 3 detects the GFX prior to load so it tries to use the Intel card and crashes on load. The Witcher throws a Minimum system requirements not met error.

Figured I'd start a thread for anyone having similar issues and if anyone has found a workaround.

Thanks,

m11x-R2
i7, 4gb Ram.

MOD NOTE:
For folks new to Optimus, be sure you review this video -

ye, and 3dmark06 bench on def. settings

as for you problem, try reinstalling video driver from dell page

http://support.dell.com/support/down...os=W764&osl=EN

or, which is more preferable, install latest drivers from nvidia page, cause it already support optimus:

have you tried manually add Fallout to the optimus profile?!

Optimus apparently has done this for awhile and doesnt work at all for some games, sorry.

Also please try and O/C the gpu and let us know what kind of headroom is there for an extra boost. I am giddy and can't wait till my R2 comes in.

Please keep up updated handalife.

Also, could you do some 3dmark06 benchmarks?

We're dying to know, the performance of it, with i7!

I'm at work but I'll try to run a 3dmark05 bench when I have bandwidth.

If you select the fallout launcher exe, it will just switch to the Fallout3.exe. Doesn't seem to be a way around it at the moment.
