plasticinedean Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm having trouble with a NVIDIA 310m gpu, in 10.6.4. My laptop has NVIDIA optimus technology, which means that it likes to use the inbuilt intel GPU on the i5 processor. I can enable the NVIDIA card using efi strings, so that it displays the correct information, however all the display adapters seem to be connected to the intel GPU, not the NVIDIA. I can turn off the NVIDIA card in the BIOS, but not the intel. Any ideas on how to get around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyVlad Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 BUMP! This thread IMHO should be one of the top priority. We have hundreds of laptops with optimus. I have Lenovo V560 and have the same problem. It would be great if we could override bios settings in DSDT or switch graphics somehow to Nvidia card. I read some Linux forums and I know that PS3 method of PEGP Graphics in DSDT file is used to switch cards. Now we need guru help. :-) dsdt.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyVlad Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 For now, you can't enable Nvidia chip on optimus-enabled laptops. Wait for IntelHD woking solution. Optimus is {censored}. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
