    That does suck.

    Tell them to fix it and to throw in a free accessory for the mixup.

    im laughing at you, but only because i thought this happened to my wife and we had the same initial ""

    Do the following:

    on the bottom of the task bar there is a little green icon that says Hybrid SLI. Its currently set to save power. Set it to Boost Performance.

    NOW go look at your nVidia control panel.

    BTW, you should probably read up on how the power save and stuff works on this laptop. It's a little different since it has dual GPUs.

    This, they probably have it set out of the box to run on integrated graphics.
