Laptop manufacturers have a choice – they can include onboard graphics for better battery life or discrete graphics hardware for better gaming performance. But wouldn't it be great if a laptop could have both and intelligently switch between them?
That's what NVIDIA's Optimus does. New laptops that come with NVIDIA graphics hardware generally include Intel's onboard graphics solution, too. The laptop switches between each on-the-fly.
