    I recently got the newest 280.xx beta drivers and was messing around and clicked FN + F6 and it switched, after, I looked at my Nvidia control panel and looked at version of driver, it said 280.15 drivers and I could also use intel, any ideas?

    If they are not released by Dell then no you cannot. I do not know if you are referring to the BETA ones released by Nvidia or not but Dell is the only one that will release switchable graphics drivers other than R1 users that created modded drivers.
