Gta 4

Anyone managed to run this on the XP5 15 L502x or the L702x yet? Or for the matter with any other optimus enabled GPU?



Seems to not detect my GT 540m and only recognises my intel graphics card.



Got the latest drivers for my GPU, the latest patch for GTA 4 and i've tried to manually force my GPU on via nividia control panel.

GTA4 has problems in general from what I understand, its just not optimized to run on a PC or something to that effect. I do have the game, so once I get my L502x configured with my apps then I'll download and see what happens for me.

Yep think quite a few games arent running so well with the gt 540m. Wouldnt be surprised if the xps 17 (L02x) has trouble running games too. Its the optimus.

Is there a way to disable the optimus?? It's really annoying if that's the case.

Nope. I've been trying to find a way for the past few weeks =(



I can't even get Sim City 4 and Left 4 Dead 2 to work with Optimus cause it stays on the integrated card. Sim City 4 is a 4+ year old game.



And in before someone tells me that you need to set the .exe file in the nVidia control panel. It doesn't work and its a well known issue.



I'm hoping that the roll out of the newer Sandy Bridge stuff will get some newer drivers out.

According to Nvidia the next batch of driver updates will include support for the 540m. I don't know if it will fix any problem yet. Lowering the resolution helps some, we all know that. And I can't tell much of a difference in 1920x1080 and 1600x900.

Yea waiting for the next set of drivers from Nividia. Its frustrating how this is more of a software than hardware issue.

Yeah I know, I would not have bought the laptop with this card in it if I knew this ahead of time. I'm playing a game that's 2 years old and am now getting less than 20fps with it........it's crap. I can't even get on to the Nvidia Forums, Internall 500 errors with it.
