I have an acer aspire 7730z with w vista SP2 i need to know what number geforce i have in my laptop.my manual says either nvidia Geforce9300M GS,or nvidia Geforce9600M GS,or Geforce9600M GT but. NVIDIA only collects hardware and system software information. What Operating Systems and Browsers does the NVIDIA GPU Reader work with? Currently, the NVIDIA GPU Reader works with Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Media Center, Vista, 7 and 8.

The easiest way to look it up is to use System Info.
Start > Run (or Win+R) > MSINFO32 Synthmaster 2.8 crack.
Under Components, look for Display click it, and it will give you info about what windows is using.
You are checking and asking if dedicated vs integrated being used correct? If so, try looking within your default devices and seeing which appears to be running. Also, try placing under stress (eg: benchmarking program) and seeing how well it runs. If it runs very well; how well you would expect a nvidia graphics card to work, then you are fine. If not it COULD be nvidia being used but a bottleneck. More info needed for diagnosis

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.

How Optimus Works
For most PC use, the onboard Intel graphics hardware is just fine. You will not notice a difference between onboard and discrete graphics when using desktop applications. There is a difference, however – integrated Intel graphics use much less power than NVIDIA graphics. By using the low-power onboard graphics when a high-power dedicated graphics card isn’t necessary, laptops can save power and increase battery life.
Cypress trackpad windows 10 driver. Reinstalled the Windows 8 driver, then later installed the 5.5.1.59 driver (although the file name says 2.5.1.59?) and all gestures are now working on Windows 10! Thanks for confirming that it is 5.5.1.59 and not 2.5.1.59, I thought it was weird for the driver revision to be older when I added it to the list of touchpad drivers. Use the links on this page to download the latest version of Cypress TrackPad drivers. All drivers available for download have been scanned by antivirus program. Sep 06, 2015 If I install the Cypress Trackpad driver for Windows 8.1 through the Dell support page for my model, it doesn't work properly and it floods my 'Event Viewer' with errors. I just keep the driver uninstalled and I'm left with a dump trackpad that only tracks and clicks with the physical button.
When you launch an application that needs high-powered 3D graphics, such as a PC game, the laptop powers on the NVIDIA graphics hardware and uses it to run the application. This increases 3D performance dramatically, but takes more power – which is fine if your laptop is plugged into an outlet.
Most of the time, the switching should happen without you noticing or needing to tweak anything. NVIDIA’s Optimus technology has come a long way in the last few years and is very polished. (Updating your graphics drivers may solve problems with Optimus.)
Some laptops may have an LED that lights up when the NVIDIA graphics is in use, so you can see whether the battery-draining NVIDIA graphics is running.
Bear in mind that you won’t see any benefits from Optimus if you leave applications that require the NVIDIA graphics running constantly. For example, Steam wants to remain running in the background, but, by default, the NVIDIA graphics stay powered on when it’s running. If you left Steam open all the time, your battery life would be reduced because the NVIDIA graphics would remain powered on constantly.
Controlling NVIDIA Optimus
Some laptops may have a BIOS option to disable the integrated graphics and use the NVIDIA graphics exclusively. However, this isn’t very common.
While the NVIDIA graphics driver does a pretty good job of auto-detecting when the NVIDIA graphics are necessary, it isn’t perfect. You may find yourself loading up a demanding game (or other 3D-graphics-using application) and noticing poor performance – a sign that the game is using your integrated Intel graphics hardware.
Nvidia Driver 8400 Gs
To force an application to use your NVIDIA graphics, right-click its shortcut (or .exe file), point to Run with graphics processor, and select the High-performance NVIDIA processor. You can also select the Integrated graphics option to force an application to use your integrated graphics hardware.
To force an application to always use a specific graphics process, click the Change default graphics processor option. This will open up the NVIDIA Control Panel and allow you to select the default graphics processor for the application.
NVIDIA’s Optimus isn’t yet properly supported in Linux. The Bumblebee project is making progress and you can now get Optimus working on Linux, although it isn’t perfect.
