Modern gaming laptops strike an impressive balance between battery life while web browsing, and monstrous performance while gaming - the secret to that is a little technology called NVIDIA Optimus - and the newest version, Advanced Optimus, is a pretty big improvement. Join me as I dive into how this secret sauce works and why you’ll want it on your next laptop!

I just bought a gaming Laptop and I am new to this technology and had no idea how any of this worked. Thanks for making it easy to understand.
@sabishiihito Жыл бұрын
MUX switches have been around for a while, it's just that before Advanced Optimus, you had to reboot to switch between iGPU/Optimus modes and dGPU-only modes.

Hi is that latency test with optimus selected or the "automatically select" option? thanks
@xthene 6 ай бұрын
after talking sooo much and explaining the differences between Advanced Optimus and Optimus mode, he still failed to show where and how to turn on Advanced Optimus mode. I suspect the Automatic Select is the Advanced Optimus mode .... but he didn't really explicitly say sooo and leave the readers speculating ... This is a true demo of how to be ambiguous and a negative demo of how to explain and demo how to do settings ...

AMD has something similar called AMD SmartShift which works under a similar senarios of using the dGPU and iGPU

When you're rendering a video or 3D models, can the laptop use both iGPU and dGPU for it at the same time, like my desktop can?

Hey, so in my laptop there is a setting in the bios "Enable hybrid mode/advanced optimus (if availaible)" and even though I have turned it on my nvidia control panel is not getting the manage display mode option even thought it was there and I had also used it multiple times when I had first bought the laptop. Any fixes ?

I have a question... So Advanced optimus shut down (totally) The dGPU when The system is using igpu? Didn't find out there. I also love efficiency, congrats for the Channel!!!
@MnemonicCarrier 11 ай бұрын
I wish it was possible to choose which GPU (iGPU or dGPU) the video output ports use, as I want to be able to use an external monitor without turning on the dGPU (when on the road, giving a presentation, when I don't need the dGPU).
@BennyAlex98 8 ай бұрын
my laptop has one usb c DP port connected directly to the dGPU, the HDMI port is wired to the interal graphic card.

@mrsearaphim4077 7 ай бұрын
thats probably due to the internal signal routing. In general laptop brands only ensure proper Advanced Optimus for the laptop screen sadly. If you want best performance for external displays set your laptop in dGPU mode and reboot. (hopefully the ports dont depend on the iGPU)

@Sevan_UP 9 ай бұрын
laptop manufacturers way of making you pay more for an external monitor to make full use of your laptop performance.
@Hk-uw8my 7 ай бұрын
For that you would need the dgpu to run an external port. Which is not even the case sometimes.
@BennyAlex98 9 ай бұрын
So you have an automatic switch built in but using that will cause 5 times worse response time, and switching manually it doesnt? Very bad implementation. Also doesnt makes much sense, since the gpu connection is still the same? Do you know if this is the same for external displays or only affects the laptop screen?

So I have a question. I owned ASUS ROG STRIX G16 ( 2023 ) with advanced Optimus and MUX Switch supported. But as I learnt through researches and the above video, its performance is reduced by the iGPU if I do not use the two mentioned features. My question is do advanced optimus and mux switch work on the laptop build-in display or I need to buy an external monitor to make it work? please help to clear me out thanks
@xundai 6 ай бұрын
Advanced Optimus is like a rebootless MUX switch, when it’s set to automatic it will switch to the dGPU and it will drive the screen and the signal won’t go through the iGPU.

If they could connect the MUX switches to thunderbolt ports as well, maybe eGPUs won't have such a big performance loss with internal vs external monitors.

Laptops technically have no graphics cards, a graphics card contains it's own cooling solution, pcb, gpu and vram. Most laptops typically have the gpu as part of the motherboard.
