Video Features
The system features both an Intel's Integrated GPU (for
power-saving) and an NVIDIA's discrete GPU (for per-
formance). You can switch display devices, and configure
display options as long as the video drivers are installed.
Microsoft Hybrid Graphics
(For non-G-SYNC systems)
Microsoft Hybrid Graphics
designed to get best performance from the graphics sys-
tem while allowing longer battery life, without having to
manually change settings. The computer's operating sys-
tem (and some applications) will automatically switch
between the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU when
required by the applications in use.
NVIDIA Advanced Optimus
(For G-SYNC systems)
Note that systems with G-Sync displays support Ad-
vanced Optimus modes which feature Dynamic Display
Switching. Advanced Optimus allows dynamically
switching across different display adapters and this offers
longer battery life, along with the performance and bene-
fits of G-SYNC and high refresh rate.
