    When im playing the game, even tho i whitelisted the game, when its on, the driver warning shows Intel HD Graphics Driver instead of GT555M. Anyone knows whether it is using GT555M or does it really use the Intel HD Graphics Driver ?

    it really does use use the gt555m. if you minimize the game and use the optimus check tool it shows the nvidia gpu is in use. (only after logged in i think)

    I played for a while then my hdd died. I had everything maxed, with dof bloom and post processing disabled, and I had to be getting at least 36 frames average. I may have disabled tesselation as well but I can not recall for sure.
