    Hi guys,

    I'm sorry if I'm asking a question that is common but I haven't been able to or seen anyone talk about this, so it could just be me missing something completely.

    But how do I manually switch between the GPU's on the R2 ?? The bios setting that lets your force only the nvidia card to be used is missing too right? That options is not in the R2 or?

    I just can't seem to get my head around how all this two graphics cards is managed.

    Thanks

    You cannot manually switch between the two.

    There is a dedicated thread about this and other Optimus issues that has been on the front page for a while...
