Hello guys
As the title says i have had my laptop with a gt 540m (optimus) for a while now, and have just got a new external monitor (LG W2363D) with the hope that I would be able to play games at 120hz.
However, im having problems getting anything higher than 60hz and am beginning to believe that the optimus is preventing me from doing so. My nvidia control panel does not have a display tab at all, and the only option to change refresh rate lies in the intel integrated graphics options which only goes to a max of 60hz. The screen can achieve 120hz on my very old desktop so i know its not a problem with the screen.
I'm currently using a hdmi connection as its the only connection that both my laptop and screen have. laptop also has a vga port and the monitor has a dvi.
So, does anyone know any work around for this? any way to turn optimus off all together?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
