MUX switches have been around for a while, it's just that before Advanced Optimus, you had to reboot to switch between iGPU/Optimus modes and dGPU-only modes.
after talking sooo much and explaining the differences between Advanced Optimus and Optimus mode, he still failed to show where and how to turn on Advanced Optimus mode. I suspect the Automatic Select is the Advanced Optimus mode .... but he didn't really explicitly say sooo and leave the readers speculating ... This is a true demo of how to be ambiguous and a negative demo of how to explain and demo how to do settings ...
Where does it say "how to turn off Optimus" and if you don't know how to access bios and read then that's on you. Literally in big letters on most BIOS "DISPLAY" with options of auto select, Optimus and GPU. And Optimus already has CASO which means that it it already will have advanced Optimus. Anything above 11th gen processors will automatically have it.
Can someone please tell me what laptop that is being shown for the cooling system clips? I've never seen a laptop that had such a robustly built huge copper system like that!!!! It kind of reminded me a bit of the water-cooled laptops. Weird for me to see such a nice cooling system on a device speced with a 4060.
@@KaiF-ii9ry yeah I can do it in the vantage and Nvidia control panel, but something strange happen when i use advance optimus. It's detect my laptop have a second monitor, and because of that I can't change the display brightness via windows quick setting (f6/f5 still working)
I have a question... So Advanced optimus shut down (totally) The dGPU when The system is using igpu? Didn't find out there. I also love efficiency, congrats for the Channel!!!
Hey, so in my laptop there is a setting in the bios "Enable hybrid mode/advanced optimus (if availaible)" and even though I have turned it on my nvidia control panel is not getting the manage display mode option even thought it was there and I had also used it multiple times when I had first bought the laptop. Any fixes ?
I wish it was possible to choose which GPU (iGPU or dGPU) the video output ports use, as I want to be able to use an external monitor without turning on the dGPU (when on the road, giving a presentation, when I don't need the dGPU).
If they could connect the MUX switches to thunderbolt ports as well, maybe eGPUs won't have such a big performance loss with internal vs external monitors.
I have recently purchased XMG neo 17 and when i disable nvidia optimus i get horrible lag in games while being connected to the external monitor. Any ideas how to fix that issue ?
thats probably due to the internal signal routing. In general laptop brands only ensure proper Advanced Optimus for the laptop screen sadly. If you want best performance for external displays set your laptop in dGPU mode and reboot. (hopefully the ports dont depend on the iGPU)
So I have a question. I owned ASUS ROG STRIX G16 ( 2023 ) with advanced Optimus and MUX Switch supported. But as I learnt through researches and the above video, its performance is reduced by the iGPU if I do not use the two mentioned features. My question is do advanced optimus and mux switch work on the laptop build-in display or I need to buy an external monitor to make it work? please help to clear me out thanks
Advanced Optimus is like a rebootless MUX switch, when it’s set to automatic it will switch to the dGPU and it will drive the screen and the signal won’t go through the iGPU.
So you have an automatic switch built in but using that will cause 5 times worse response time, and switching manually it doesnt? Very bad implementation. Also doesnt makes much sense, since the gpu connection is still the same? Do you know if this is the same for external displays or only affects the laptop screen?
Laptops technically have no graphics cards, a graphics card contains it's own cooling solution, pcb, gpu and vram. Most laptops typically have the gpu as part of the motherboard.

I just bought a gaming Laptop and I am new to this technology and had no idea how any of this worked. Thanks for making it easy to understand.
I literally called my manufacturer and they didn't know if mine had "advanced" or regular "optimus.."

When you're rendering a video or 3D models, can the laptop use both iGPU and dGPU for it at the same time, like my desktop can?
I've also been trying to get a explanation of the difference between Optimus and automatic modes and no one can seem to explain it....
Dell is claiming to have a G15 with Advanced Optimus and no MUX. Is that even possible?!
thanks for the explanation
quik and crisp
and not alot of bloat like in ltt
laptop manufacturers way of making you pay more for an external monitor to make full use of your laptop performance.
For that you would need the dgpu to run an external port. Which is not even the case sometimes.
Is it same as change it via lenovo vantage? Or better change it in nvidia control panel?
I think you can do it on Lenovo vantage but to double check go to the nvidia control panel

AMD has something similar called AMD SmartShift which works under a similar senarios of using the dGPU and iGPU
I wish it was possible to choose which GPU (iGPU or dGPU) the video output ports use, as I want to be able to use an external monitor without turning on the dGPU (when on the road, giving a presentation, when I don't need the dGPU).
my laptop has one usb c DP port connected directly to the dGPU, the HDMI port is wired to the interal graphic card.

Ofc they could they just intentionally wont 😂
Why would they? Use the HDMI....
some high-end laptops do

then just leave optimus on or do you have any other problems than?

Connect it to the Nvidia port
Why i cant change my display to automatic. I only have two Optimus and Nvidia.. Can someone help me how to get back to automatic and not just the two
What is the difference between Nvidia's dynamic display switch(advanced optimus) and mux switche? Mux switches existed way before advanced optimus.

That's weird, it usually reduces the input delay.
