NVIDIA Optimus review: Life be more easily

Optimus_notebook



What technologyis this? Is NVIDIA managed to obtain technology from transformers? Haha, of course, it is only imaginary. However, NVIDIA has to offer with Optimus technology is actually as a dream notebook -users.

In short, Optimus, with notebook -users don’t bother when I had to choose: a notebook with fast graphics system, but poor battery stamina, or a laptop with integrated graphics system (the famous is less able to play the heavy graphical content), but with good battery life.Why NVIDIA should bother to create technologythis? The answer is because the use of this technology is very high. The main reason is due to the high number of users of notebook today. According to Gartner, growth of mobile PCs have outsold desktops, from 2009. Tren this year will only increase in future.

Requirements: battery life and performance

Laptops are portable and can be used without the need to search your electrical outlet. Both of these important points to note. Optimize for portability should notebook quite mild. If you want to be able to work anywhere, should the laptop has a good battery life. Power adapter is one of the extra burden when you perform the laptop. A good notebook should thus be able to implement without requiring a power adapter. This means battery resistance should be very good.Performance is a critical requirement. Failure to satisfy netbook users in its first year attendance is proof positive. Netbooks do not have enough performance to run many applications that are important. Actually been running a YouTube video with HD resolution, of course, very hard done by netbooks. Eventually turned the trend again, a more powerful notebook.

Until now, portable pc with additional graphics system (discrete graphics) are always faced with a problem. Battery resistance is generally poor. This is because laptops have to supply the extra power, powerful graphics system (VGA). Graphics system works effectively not always at maximum capacity. Thus the trend power delivered to the graphics system to be wasted.

In the meantime notebook with an embedded graphics system (such as Intel HD Intel 4500MHD or graphics on the i3, i5 and i7), a durable good battery trend. This system, however, has a graphics capability, which is sometimes insufficient. For example, if you want to play 3D gamess, integrated graphics system generally difficult to run smoothly. At the time of playback HD movies (especially Full HD 1080p MKV format) will be integrated graphics system completely overwhelmed. It is not in a position, but all systems would work hard until the system response is degraded, it is precisely because of running full HD movie. Want to try converting some movies while playing a 1080p Full HD movies? This system is certainly not the right choice for these needs.

Switchable graphics: the right solution?

Look at the above conditions, you may think, "why not make a notebook that has two graphics systems and allow users to choose graphics system, which is necessary?"This is done several notebook vendors. Notebooks with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 who have integrated graphics system combined with discrete graphics system. Users can freely select graphics system if necessary.

The problem is, there are still many users who do not know how to make the switch between the two graphics systems. For those who know how, there are still problems with human negligence, often forget to make the switch. Suddenly, the notebook ran out of battery in the middle of a presentation that users forgetperform switch to integrated graphics system more effective power.Another problem that occurs is the method for switching itself. In the early stages the method change still requires the user to restart the laptop. While the last method, although portable does not need to be restarted, users still have the problem when there are few programs that "holding" graphics system to refrain from changing (eg, browser). To do this, you must turn off the software first, can make the Shift.
