Optimus

Technology is a seamless technology designed to get best performance from the graphics

system while allowing longer battery life, without having to manually change settings. The computer will

auto-

matically switch between the integrated UMA (Unified Memory Architecture) GPU (iGPU) and the discrete
GPU (

dGPU) when required by the applications in use.

You can switch display devices, and configure display options, from the

Display control panel (in Appearances

and Personalization) in Windows 8 when running the Desktop app (see

“Desktop Application” on page 1 - 18

and

Devices menu item

in the

Charms Bar (see
