I've recently been tweaking my dell m4600 precision, trying to get it to run a little faster, and enabled NVIDIA Optimus in the BIOS, I read up on it and thought it would be a good idea, so I enable it and restart my system and attempt to benchmark it using MSI Kombustor 3, only to be presented with a message saying OpenGL 4.3 support needed. I thought that was odd, since the quadro 2000m in the system supports up to 4.5, so I use GPU caps viewer to see what it says, and it shows OpenGL running off of the intel integrated graphics which only supports up to 3.1. I tried reinstalling graphic drivers, trying to get the newest that I can, and still no luck. Before enabling optimus I was able to have driver version 381.(i believe)43, now I'm only able to have 377.83. Should I disable Optimus? Or am I able to update the drivers to what I had originally?
