Optimus

Technology

NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology is a seamless technolo-
gy designed to get best performance from the graphics
system while allowing longer battery life, without having
to manually change settings. The computer will automati-
cally and seemlessly switch between the integrated UMA
(Unified Memory Architecture) GPU (iGPU) and the dis-
crete GPU (dGPU) when required by the applications in
use.
