I know that m14x has optimus and the intel hd 3000/4000 but I noticed the WEI score of some showing both 7+ on graphics and gaming graphics and some have a 5+ on graphics because of the intel card and 7+ for the dedicated nvidia gpu.
The confusion here is why some m14x r1 or r2 users have 7.0+ scores on both the graphics and gaming graphics? Did they somehow turn off optimus to force the dedicated gpu to run on WEI? Or are they using a driver that does not support Optimus?
Why are some m14x have 5.0+ score on graphics and some get 7.0+ on both graphics and gaming score?
What is going on here? Can anyone clear this up please.

There's several things that may influence the results when running WEI on optimus units, you mentioned some before; it could be drivers, or users who don't have the nVidia graphics processor set as global default.
On the other hand, i'd recommend using benchmarks if what you want is to make sure your card is working at its 100%

Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying but i still need some input on this to why some are getting the 5.2-5.5 score in graphics WEI score when some are getting the same score like their gaming graphics of 7.1+ and up.
