NVIDIA Optimus and the Asus UL50VF Notebook Video Review
Get comfortable, this one is a bit long, but the technology is revolutionary! NVIDIA Optimus technology brings seamless graphics switching to notebooks, allowing for hassle free use of discrete graphics when you need them, along with all the battery saving benefits of a ULV (ultra low voltage) based system. Optimus works by physically providing or cutting off power to the video card in a system. The software can automatically detect what programs or applications will need to use discrete graphics and adjust completely by itself. The best part is, no user interference is required. There are no buttons to push, switches to flick or settings to adjust. The change is simple and flawless. All of this is packed inside a very sleek and professional Asus UL50VF notebook which combines portability, performance, style, and an incredible warranty; the perfect compliment to debut NVIDIA Optimus.

i have installed? the nvidia tool..but i always on off status
hi there, On my acer 5750g, I have this technology, but I dont have the option to run applications with the nvidia gpu when i “right click” on an icon, instead I have to go to the nvidia control panel and manualy switch to nvidia high performance gpu – while it useally does switch automatically – im just wondering why I dont have the option to right click on an app and just? run with nvidia settings? Do I need an update or something?
Is optimus going to work properly with older games and apps, I mean would it switch directly to the nvidia? gpu when a game from 2004 is launched or it won’t do that because those games are before the release of nvidia optimus? same for older softwares.
nice video. my? brother bought one last year and he says it´s the best notebook he ever used!
I saw this at Bestbuy? and i bought, best laptop i’ve ever used.
Hey you crazy Canadians, I’m in the market for a laptop similar to this. I know the i5, and i7 CULV-esque’s have dropped recently. What’s the more up to date version of this laptop? I mean, with the Optimus graphics? solution, etc. I’ll probably get it after Sandy Bridge lowers the prices of everything!
lol? im holding this computer on my hands right now
woooooooow its such a glosy computer…… in other words its a finger print? magnet
whats the soundtrack??
so is this a? hardware thing ?
Is that? a glossy finish? I hate those.
i got? this but i can’t figure out how to use it
Great stuff, thanks!?
i just? got it. just look up “nvidia optimus test tool”
cool
?
Where can I download that Optimus test tool? It’s not included? with latest GeForce drivers…
Unfortunately I don’t think consumers can get their hands on it. I myself was looking for a copy to use for demonstration after this video went up and? was informed it was supplied only for review purposes.
@HardwareCanucks hey dude where can i get that nvidia tool? i wanna? test it too on my new m11x
I have the asus? u30jt, and i’m wonding if i have to install any drivers or anything, my optimus doesnt seem to be working , when i watch 1080p videos they don’t work in full screen.
Where can i download that nvidia devloper tool?
WHERE can one buy this machine. Lots of noise that it is coming but go try? to find it in a store
ASUS, The? new Alienware!
UL80JT…look? for it
I? can’t find this for sale! Looks like a great notebook for work and light gaming.
Cool tech! I see Nvidia discrete GPU is always active except in desktop. I haven’t got one so didn’t test it out but both Flash 10.1 and MPC support DXVA in Intel IGPs beginning with 4 series and they can handle HD videos. So I think the? discrete GPU is much more active than it should be.
Also, with Optimus tech both discrete GPU and IGP use the same frame buffer. Doesn’t this cause a bottleneck? Because IGPs use slow system memory whereas GPUs use high speed GDDR3/5 memories.
