    So hello everyone, this is my first post and as you can see it turns out to be me asking for something xD

    It may seem like my laptop (MSI GT70 Dragon Edition 2) isn't detecting the GTX780M card. However, I did go to NVIDIA Control Panel and in the section "Preferred graphics processor", I chose "NVIDIA high-performance GPU" (or something like that). Well, then I tried playing COD4 w/ max settings @1080p w/ 4xAA and I was getting around 110-140fps. So I guess the card is functioning just fine?

    DXDiag has no idea about dedicated cards working thru Optimus.

    Yeah, that has to be it. I mean, I've just played Crysis, it seems to be running @1080p on high at 60+ frames. That's great!
