    If the driver does nto specifically say that it is for switchable graphics (which is different than Optimus), then you cannot use it.

    If you're on the R1, then your best bet for an easy-to-install source of stable drivers is Alienware's support site. Otherwise, you need to specifically look for drivers that are for switchable graphics.
