M11x R1 Hybrid/Optimus Driver

[vladichimescu]

maybe someone can mod the M11x R1 Bios to have
Integrated/Discrete/Switchable like the Lenovo

for the bios to-mod, please use the already +0.5v 3D from my host, adding the integrated/discrete [personally I don't care for the switchable or optimus, I want to select from BIOS for Integrated or Discrete]:
BIOS Mod GPU 3D 0.95v m11x R1.zip

PS: maybe raise the fan temp threshold so the fan doesn't start that often when oc enabled and discrete graphics, more because of the gt335m [using oc disabled and integrated graphics the fan doesn't start unless working, with docs/music/movies the fan is silent]

Hi, i have 263 driver, there is any chance to upgrade it keeping the switchable function?

(Help me )

I've had all 3 M11x Models and finally back to the R1 since I gave my brother my R3 after I built my desktop. Thanks so much guys for keeping this machine going and maximizing its potential. <3

Good evening,

I recently finished updating the inf files for the 295.73 drivers and I thought I'd share.

I did step 1 on post 1, then installed these drivers and it appears to work just like when installing the 285.38.

Here's the link for the drivers, let me know how it works out for you. I'm newb at this and just modified the inf based off of RigelKent's 285.38 and a guide I found earlier in the day.

295.73 Optimus Beta

Tested with this optimus driver. Working fine so far.
Thanks dude!!

had you tried with 285 before? Any diff?

No, I jumped straight into 295. Was having problems with the Dell driver for some time now and thought I will try my luck on this one

Only tested with one game so far. PES 2013, I would say I've gained a few FPS with the new driver.
Haven't check on the battery consumption, but my 2.5 years old battery is pretty much worn out anyway

[GNandGS]

I'm about 30% batt wear and get approx 2hr run time if that helps any. If no real gains over 285 I doubt I make the effort.

Thanks for update!

[caledary11]

According to the self-test button at the back of m11x, my battery wear is about 80%
But SIW said it is 39%

IMO, there's no need for you to change when you're not having any problems with the 285. I was just desperate to try these out since I had problems with the Dell driver.
I love not having to close apps before switching gfx

No problemo! I am just another m11x owner hoping for this kind of community to keep our little beast going!


EDIT: Ok.. Just had a test run on the battery, it lasted.. 45 mins
Think my battery is dying faster than I thought.. Before changing to this driver I had about 2 hours I think

[GNandGS]

After getting some hardware not detected issues I wanted to reinstall drivers. Moved to 295s above (maybe solved problem, still testing) without issue. Same batt run time as expected between 285 on page 1

Hey guys does anyone know any other links to the 2 download links posted on page 1? I know they've been up for a quite a while but they appear to be down now. When I click the hybrid/optimus file appears to be deleted or moved. I can find the Intel Display driver using a search though. Any ideas?

Thanks!
