theconnactic Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If you have the ability of disabling Optimus in the BIOS, you can use either one or the other (but never switch between both: Apple uses its own switching technology, and i doubt Optimus will ever be supported).

All the best! There is the possibility that some BIOS mod, you can disable Optimus??, I have modified the bios by Techinferno, would have to investigate how to disable Optimus technology? .. OK assuming I could disable, * No problem that is 640M LE, this "LE" that abbreviations are not "Lite Edition"?? excuse my ignorance .. * What else would I have to do to make it work ..? Thanks for the reply... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287654-nvidia-geforce-gt-640m-le-question/#findComment-1904224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhh Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 no success with any optimus enabled cards if bios doesn't support discrete mode only, like Thinkpads W and some T series support 3 modes in bios exist: integrated - intel discrete - nvidia or ati optimus - both cards so forget about nvidia Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287654-nvidia-geforce-gt-640m-le-question/#findComment-1908010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
